Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 September 2026

Debate

Air Traffic Control Disruption

Contribution

This morning, I met representatives from Unite the Union to hear directly about the impact of the incident on airport and airline staff and to discuss broader issues with them relating to the abuse of frontline transport workers. I express my and the Secretary of State’s gratitude to all those staff at our airports and airlines who provided support to passengers whose journeys were disrupted over the past few days. Our sympathies remain with all those passengers who have experienced delays to their travel plans or cancellations”.
