§ 10. Mr. Robert Atkinsasked the Secretary of State for Trade what is his latest estimate of the cost to the Civil Aviation Authority, his Department and to the airlines of the air traffic controllers' strike.
§ Mr. EyreLoss of revenue to the Civil Aviation Authority has mainly been in the form of fees for landing and for aerodrome navigation services. Up to 19 June this has been of the order of £350,000. There has been no significant extra cost to the Department of Trade. Losses by the airlines are likely to be substantial, but full details are not yet available.
