HC Deb 11 December 1968 vol 775 cc146-7W
Sir G. Nabarro

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will now make a further statement on the effects of the cessation of services by British Eagle.

Mr. William Rodgers

Immediate action was taken to enable other operators to continue domestic winter services provisionally and all these are currently being flown. Several airlines have now applied to the A.T.L.B. to take over routes formerly served by British Eagle.

I understand that British Eagle's non-scheduled business has been taken over by other carriers without any serious difficulties.
