The Regional Air Connectivity Fund was announced by the previous Government to support public service obligations (PSOs) and start-up aid. From this fund the Department for Transport has already provided financial support for PSOs between both Dundee - London Stansted and Newquay – London Gatwick. This has ensured that vital connectivity from our regions to the capital has not been lost. The Government will announce shortly how it plans to take forward future use of the fund.
