Department for Transport written question – answered at on 4 July 2018.
Lord Rana
Conservative
To ask Her Majesty's Government what additional resources they intend to provide to the Civil Aviation Authority to manage recent increases in pilot licence applications.
Baroness Sugg
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is making flexible use of internal resources and additional fixed-term contractor staff, to help manage the short-term increase in applications. This has increased the available resource by 35%, and the CAA consequently expect to have returned to its target turnaround time of ten working days by the end of June. The CAA is also actively recruiting additional permanent staff to improve resilience over the medium to long term.
