HC Deb 10 May 1967 vol 746 cc236-7W
69. Mr. Cordle

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many licences have been granted to aircraft companies to operate from Hurn Airport.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

Twenty-three licences are currently valid for operations from or via Hurn Airport, of which nineteen are for scheduled services and four for inclusive tour charters.

70. Mr. Cordle

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the increased holiday traffic to the South Coast, he will consider opening Hurn Airport for passenger aircraft on Saturdays for the season.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

The demand from operators for facilities to be provided on Saturdays is insufficient to warrant the cost reversing the decision taken last year to confine hours of opening at Hurn to weekdays, i.e. within the limits of a single watch, but I am keeping the matter under review.
