Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the number of flights with little or no passengers, which fly over airspace in the London Borough of Hounslow.
The Department does not hold statistical data on flights entering UK airspace. Data on commercial air services collected by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) only covers flights departing and arriving at UK airports and therefore does not include flights that pass-through UK airspace without landing at a UK airport.
