§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many times Honduran-registered aircraft have flown into the United Kingdom in each of the last five years; and if he will make a statement. [33607]
§ Mr. NorrisThe Department does not keep records of every flight into the UK. Not all categories of flight require Government permission, and flights may sometimes occur without authority. However, no scheduled services are operated by Honduran carriers to the UK.
Between 1 November 1993 and 15 January 1994, permission was granted to the Honduran airline, Omega Air, to operate one round-trip a week between Banjul and London, on behalf of Air Gambia. From 16 January to 25 March, this permission was extended to twice a week. No airline currently has permission to operate Honduran-registered aircraft into the UK.
