THE FOCUS
Against a background of incompatible policies, competing priorities and
spatial variations, this conference will explore the conflicts of interest,
which must inevitably define current policy and practice relating to UK air
transport. Any effective policy must reconcile several divergent national
priorities as well as the conflicting interests of the various stakeholders
in the air transport industry.  The conference will include speakers from
the air transport world, who bring their own not necessarily easily
reconciled perspectives to the industry, with representatives of government,
the environmental lobby and the academic world.

Key issues include:
*       Predicting the aggregate demand for air travel and its
        geographical distribution
*       Congestion and the shortage of airport capacity in South-east
        England
*       The rapid growth of low-cost carriers and their use of spare
        capacity in the South-east while creating additional
        mobility through pricing mechanisms
*       The privatisation of UK air traffic control and its repercussions
        for airspace capacity
*       The role of regional airports in a national airports policy
*       The escalating fears concerning the environmental impact of air
        transport
*       Improving surface access at airports and their integration into
        national public transport systems

THE TIMING
All these issues have a particular resonance for UK air transport in
the wake of the 1998 Transport White Paper, A New Deal for Transport.
Although nothing can be finalised until the decision is made concerning
planning permission for the fifth terminal at London Heathrow, probably in
2001, the UK Government is currently preparing a UK national air transport
policy.  This involves a comprehensive review of many aspects of the
country's aviation system, including a highly detailed review of regional
airports and air services and a South-east consultation document; six
individual documents relating to air transport in the regions will be
available early in 2001. In addition, in December 2000, DETR published The
Future of Aviation, the Government's consultation document on air transport
policy.  The culmination of these studies and public consultations will be
an Air Transport White Paper, planned for 2002. Consequently, the conference
will take place during an unprecedented period of research and public debate
concerning the UK's air transport industry and the future policies that will
direct its operations during the next two decades. In particular, the
conference has been planned to coincide with the period of discussion set
aside for The Future of Aviation, the deadline for responses to this being
12 April 2001.
