How our Aviation Policy Group works:
The Aviation Policy Group 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.
Over many years, CILT has advised Government, and the logistics and transport
industry, by using the expertise of its members who speak from widespread
knowledge but are independent of any particular trade group or business.
In particular, CILT has contributed fully to the work of the Airports
Commission, as well as to Parliamentary Inquiries and Government consultations.
CILT supported the Airports Commission’s recommendations, both in their Interim
Report of December 2013 relating to a range of improvements at a number of
airports, in particular to surface access, and also in their Final Report of
July 2015 in terms of the recommended option.
The Group, also taking account of views across the Institute, prepared its contribution
to the CILT Vision 2035, which was published in August 2014 as The Future of
Aviation and can be found here.
The Committee meets quarterly, and is regularly active throughout the year in
responding to consultations and other events.
Any CILT members wishing to become involved in the Aviation Policy Group are
very welcome to contact Paul Le Blond to chat further at
