Lord Jones of Cheltenham

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How reliable the Falkland airbridge has been since the service was outsourced by the Royal Air Force. [HL1868]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Ministry of Defence
(Baroness Taylor of Bolton)

Since it was outsourced in 2003, the Falkland airbridge has been very reliable and out of 283 flights recorded since 26 February 2003 only 14 have been delayed for longer than three hours.
