Department for Transport written question – answered at on 31 October 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Government plans to provide financial support to ensure that the expansion of Heathrow Airport results in an increase in the number of domestic routes.
The preferred expansion of Heathrow Airport will provide strong commercial opportunities to attract airlines to provide more and better routes to the nations and regions of the UK. The Government will take all necessary steps, including – where appropriate – ring-fencing new slots under Public Service Obligations (PSOs), to deliver enhanced connectivity within the UK.
