Peter Kyle – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Peter Kyle on 2016-03-16.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps the Civil Aviation Authority has taken in response to the findings of the Air Accident Investigation Branch report into the Shoreham Airshow disaster of August 2015.

Mr Robert Goodwill

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) has not yet published its final report. The majority of recommendations in the AAIB’s latest bulletin cover areas where the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has already taken action as part of its ongoing review of air display safety, which it established immediately after the Shoreham accident.

The CAA is now reviewing the AAIB’s bulletin in detail and will consider all of its recommendations carefully, alongside its ongoing air show review which is expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
