HC Deb 20 March 2002 vol 382 c351W
Mr. Lazarowicz

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions how many civil passenger flights have taken place to and from each airport in the United Kingdom in (a) 2001 and (b) each of the preceding four years; and who the (i) owners and (ii) operators of each such airport were. [43863]

Mr. Jamieson

Details of civil passenger flights to and from each airport in the United Kingdom in 2001 and each of the preceding four years is contained in Table A which has been placed in the Libraries of the House.

The Department does not hold information about UK airport owners and operators going back over the previous four years. This could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. Table B, which has also been placed in the Libraries of the House, reflects our understanding of the current position, based on data compiled from a wide variety of sources.
