Mike Kane MP, Labour’s Shadow Aviation Minister, commenting on the transport select committee report into covid-19’s effects on the aviation industry, said:

“This cross party report lays out in stark detail that the Government has failed in its fundamental duty to protect jobs and livelihoods in response to the covid-19 crisis.

“Labour has consistently called for a sectoral deal that supports the whole aviation industry including the supply chain based on our six conditions. Tory Ministers have failed to act and workers are paying the price.”
