Welcome to the Future of Aviation Group

The Future of Aviation Group was set up to campaign for support for the aviation, travel and tourism industries as they look to recover from the impacts of the Coronavirus, which saw international travel fall by 97%.

With this disruption likely to last through 2021 at least, it is essential that the Government work with industry and all interested parties to ensure that our world class aviation, travel and tourism industries recover from the greatest challenge they have ever faced

Our aviation, travel and tourism industries support over 4 million jobs throughout the UK.

IATA
Forecast
As many as 780,000 jobs are at risk across the aviation, travel and tourism sector

Airports in England and Wales have not received any support on business rates

Airports in England
Paid £70 million in business rates between March and June, when national passenger numbers fell by 97%

Suspending APD until the conclusion of summer season of 2021 would help protect 10,000 jobs
