Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many commercial flights (a) originating from Belarus and (b) operated by Belarusian-based airlines have entered UK airspace in the last two years.

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.

The total number of commercial flights arriving into UK airports from Belarus was 205 in 2019, and 191 in 2020.
