Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many private flights have submitted general aviation reports upon arrival rather than in advance in each year since 2010.

The Home Office does not hold data on the number of private flights which have submitted general aviation reports on arrival rather than in advance. Border Force has the capability to identify flights which have not submitted Advance Passenger Information (API), which informs part of the risk assessment process. Where a flight does not submit API it will automatically be classified asHigh Priority, and will likely be met by a Border Force Officer.


The other requested data is not held centrally.
