To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has made an assessment of future trends in the level of demand for flights to India from Manchester Airport; and if he will make a statement.
Answer
Jesse NormanDfT officials hold regular discussions with airlines, airports and international partners, including India, to facilitate global connectivity. Routes operated, and the flights on those routes, are a commercial decision made freely by airlines not by the Government. As this is a commercial decision, the DfT has not undertaken any assessment on future trends in the level of demand for flights to India from Manchester Airport.
