Aviation: Allergies
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of airlines operating in the UK which serve peanuts to passengers and of the risk that poses to passengers with peanut allergies.
- Answer
-
Government is committed to seeing improved clarity and consistency in how airlines deal with nut allergies. We are keen to ensure that passengers with peanut allergies have the confidence to travel safely.
The sale of nuts onboard aircrafts is a commercial decision for individual airlines. We are encouraged by some of the recent measures taken by industry and we encourage industry to continue taking appropriate measures.
