Part of 7. Topical Questions – in the Senedd at 3:37 pm on 1 July 2020.
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I align myself with others that have commented. I think it's clearly disappointing news and a real blow for the aviation sector in Wales, and I think thoughts are with all those staff that have been affected. Some of the key questions have been asked, but I think it is concerning that the Welsh Government wrote to Ryanair to ask the airline to postpone a flight scheduled for this Friday from Cardiff Airport. If the Welsh Government don't allow flights, and don't believe that they should take place, then there's going to be an obvious knock-on effect for the aviation industry. So, it would be helpful if the Government could set out in this context what can be done in terms of changing the public health rules, as has been done in other parts of the country, the UK, to pass on a message that we're open for business here in Wales.
