Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the (a) volume and (b) value was of the freight transported from UK airports to international destinations in each of the last 10 years, by airport.

Answered by Kelly Tolhurst

The volume of freight handled at UK airports that receive commercial traffic and transported to international destinations is collected by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and is displayed in the attached Table 1.

Aviation: Glasgow
Friday 25th May 2018

Asked by: Angus Brendan MacNeil (Independent - Na h-Eileanan an Iar)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the average flight time is between (a) London City airport and Glasgow and (b) Glasgow and London City airport.

The Department for Transport does not routinely collect or publish information pertaining to average flight times between airports. According to data from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) the only airline that operated a service between London City and Glasgow in 2017 was British Airways under the BA CityFlyer Ltd subsidiary. Consequently, this information should be obtainable from the airline.

Glasgow airport, for example, has a quarter of a kilometre meander that not …..."
