Responses from a range of organisations to the DfT’s Draft Aviation Policy Framework
The DfT recently consulted on the future aviation policy for the UK. This is he Aviation Policy Framework. The DfT said, of the consultation: “The Government’s primary objective is to achieve long-term economic growth, and the DfT is unambiguous in its view that the aviation sector is a major contributor to the economy. The Draft Aviation Policy framework document sets out the Government’s overall objectives for aviation and the policies by which it hopes to achieve those objectives. The DfT supports the growth of UK aviation, though it conceded this should be within a “framework which maintains a balance between the benefits of aviation and its costs, particularly climate change and noise.” AirportWatch has gathered together a number of consultation responses from a range of organisations, AirportWatch members and others.

Giving wings to airports across the UK – from Bristol Airport. They say ”Bristol Airport has submitted a formal response to the DfT consultation on the Draft Framework, alongside a position paper containing policy proposals which would help rebalance the economy. ‘Giving wings to airports across the UK’ sets out five recommendations for Government policy which would enable airports outside London to more effectively serve their local markets by making best use of existing capacity, easing congestion in the South East as a result. More on this on their website.
