A group of 55 MPs has written to the new prime minister spelling out how she can back aviation, travel and tourism.

It comes as part of the central authority's strategy to create ‘a more sustainable, open and diverse’ aviation sector

The letter from the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Future of Aviation calls for minimum staffing levels for Border Force at UK airports and a minister for the sector.

The group asked Liz Truss to give “specific responsibility for overseeing the cross-government approach to international travel policy” to an individual minister.

They also asked her to confirm commitment to the Jet Zero Strategy and put in place levels of price stability “to attract investment and new entrants to the market”.
