§ Mr. BowisNot all categories of flight require specific Government permission, and my Department does not keep a record of every flight into the UK.
We are not aware of any commercial flights to the UK by aircraft registered in Anguilla, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, St. Kitts and Suriname.
In the cases of Antigua and Barbuda, we are aware of one cargo charter service by Seagreen Air Transport, a single flight by a Caribbean Winds aircraft leased to Monarch Airlines, and nine flights by a Skyjet aircraft leased by Caledonian Airways. In addition a Skyjet aircraft was leased by Excalibur Airways from 31 May until 26 June.
In the case of Morocco, Royal Air Maroc operates scheduled passenger services to the UK using Moroccan registered aircraft. In the past 12 months, these have averaged seven flights per week. In addition, they have operated two ad hoc cargo charter services.
