HC Deb 06 March 1996 vol 273 c214W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport on what dates the aircraft involved in the accident off the Dominican Republic on 7 February flew into the United Kingdom. [18672]

Mr. Norris

At the time of the crash the Boeing 757 aircraft involved was being operated by the Dominican airline Alas Nacionales on lease from the Turkish carrier Birgenair. Neither airline has operated services to the United Kingdom.

Between May 1992 and April 1993 the aircraft was one of eight of its type operated by the Canadian carrier Nationair. During that period Nationair operated many charter services to the United Kingdom. Our records do not show whether or not this aircraft was used on any given flight.
