Written answers

The unprecedented challenges arising from Covid-19 require special attention, and for that reason I am establishing a Taskforce for Aviation Recovery, which will be charged with developing and advising on a framework for restarting aviation. I am in the process of appointing people to this Taskforce, which will convene quickly and report back to me within within a short timeframe with a plan.

The overall challenge is to develop a safe and sustainable pathway to reopening and to put in place measures that will help us rebuild a robust and competitive industry that is a key driver of economic growth.
