Ministers have unveiled a package of measures to mitigate the ongoing impact of the war in the Middle East following discussions with Britain's major airports and airlines.
An industry-wide consultation on the proposals got under way on Tuesday (5 May), chief among them being leeway for airlines to temporarily consolidate their schedules on routes to destinations served multiple times a day.
The Department for Transport (DfT) characterised the measures as "contingencies" designed to allow airlines to lock in their earlier schedules and "plan realistically" this summer.
