HC Deb 01 April 1993 vol 222 cc355-6W
Mr. Haselhurst

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list those countries which operate controls on the number of charter services operating from the United Kingdom.

Mr. Norris

From the information available to us, a number of countries place restrictions on the number of charter services operating from the United Kingdom.

Canada and Australia limit the number of airports which may be served in their territory. Cyprus and to a lesser extent Malta limit the airports in the United Kingdom from which charters may operate. Iceland, Israel and Russia tend not to allow charter services to operate on routes which are already served by a scheduled service.
