§ Mr. HindTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he has any plans to meet the chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority in relation to the Gatwick-Manchester-New York air route, operated by British Airways; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ChannonI have no immediate plans to meet the chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority to discuss the Gatwick-Manchester-New York air route. However, there have been complaints about the quality of service offered on this route, which I understand British Airways have undertaken to improve. Over the next few months the Civil Aviation Authority will be monitoring aspects of the performance of this service.
