Firstly, with several members assistance I have shared our current position with the DfT team who have direct access to the Ministers.  All throughout our community very difficult decisions are having to be made as the revenue stops. The current information back from DfT is: –

‘You will have seen the announcements by the Chancellor yesterday about support for some businesses, including small businesses. I know business aviation operators, manufacturers, and maintenance organisations come in all sizes and may be eligible for support that has already been announced:

Covid-19 – Guidance to Employers and Businesses

The Chancellor also said today that he’d take further measures “to protect jobs”. These haven’t been announced yet so I don’t know what they will look like.

The information from ourselves has been taken into a group at DfT looking more closely at aviation including our sector. They do want to give a better answer but are unable to do so now.
