HC Deb 20 June 1994 vol 245 c45W
27. Mr. Deva

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what effect the third aviation package is having on air fares in Europe.

Mr. Norris

EC carriers are now free to set their own fares, and the EC licensing and market access provisions encourage competition. Since the beginning of 1993 we have seen some straight fare reductions, and various offers of seasonal tickets and promotional fares.
