Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether ministers or officials have met with, or made representations to, Airline Coordination Limited in connection with (1) Monarch Airlines, and (2) Greybull Capital.

Ministers have had no discussions with Airport Co-ordination Limited, the UK’s independent slot co-ordinator, in connection with Monarch Airlines or Greybull Capital. Under European and UK regulations, the UK government has no role in the airport slot allocation process. Airport Co-ordination Ltd has kept Department for Transport officials updated on factual matters relating to the disposition of Monarch Airlines’ slots at UK airports.
