Aviation Forum
Chairman: Vernon Murphy FCILT
The Aviation Forum comprises a group of professionals from the airline and airport sectors that reviews current and proposed policies for aviation and provides, where appropriate, expert advice to government.
In previous years the Forum has provided detailed responses to the National Consultations on the Future of Air Transport and the Regional Air Services Studies of 2002 and 2003, contributing towards the White Paper 'The Future of Air Transport' published in December 2003.
All these responses and reports are available on the DfT web site.
Our most recent submissions have been to the Competition Commission's inquiry into BAA airports (click here for a link) and the DfT’s call for evidence for its Review of the Regulatory Framework for UK Airports (click here for a link). Earlier in 2008 we had responded to the DfT consultation on Adding Capacity at Heathrow Airport and last year we responded to the consultation on the Emissions Cost Assessment which are available to members by clicking on these links. An interesting period lies ahead with the Competition Commission’s reports on BAA and the airport market. The Forum needs to strengthen its team to enable the Institute’s policy to be developed and therefore we would welcome hearing from those with relevant aviation experience who might be interested in joining the team.
Articles by two of the committee appeared in recent issues of Focus, and direct links are provided here:
