By GlobalData“We are pleased that the Aviation Minister recognises our position as a key part of the solution for the UK’s aviation needs and addressing the imbalance of just 1.2 seats per head of population in Yorkshire versus ten in the south.
“We are committed to our part in delivering the opportunity here around DSA, which with the right support from government, can start making an impact on people lives in the north now, not years ahead.”
