The Airport Operators Association and Airlines UK urged the government to act on the report, entitled UK Aviation: Reform for Take-off, which covers the pandemic and the industry’s recovery afterwards.

AOA chief executive Karen Dee said: “The transport select committee’s report provides welcome recognition of the devastating impact the pandemic had on aviation and the difficulty UK airports faced as a result of ever-changing travel restrictions, without the necessary transparency and evidence base to build trust in the rules.
