What is the economic value of the different parts of the aviation sector, including ‘general aviation’, and what Government intervention will enable the sector to support innovation and skills development as the “grass roots” of the aviation sector?
Background
The grow and level up the economy strategic priority is at the heart of the government’s agenda to spread opportunity across the UK. Transport has a crucial role to play, whether it be through improving connectivity across the United Kingdom and growing the economy by enhancing the transport network, on time and on budget. DfT has a number of specific interests in this space, notably our infrastructure projects, Places for Growth and our apprenticeships and skills work.
