Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what most recent discussions he has had with the management of EasyJet.

I chair the weekly Strategic Risk Group, as the Minister for Aviation, which brings together senior executives from across the aviation sector. easyJet have been a central part of this group and were also invited to the meeting held by the Aviation Minister and the Secretary of State on 1 June. On 12 July I visited easyJets data centre at Luton Airport.

As part of regular engagements over the summer DfT senior officials have been meeting weekly with easyJet management.
