There is a bit of a panic about this. When we discuss aviation, we are all guilty of thinking about airlines and airports and forgetting about leasing, drones and aviation's other subsectors. I met representatives of some of them yesterday. They are in a bit of a panic. The policy review will get under way in a few weeks and could conclude in the spring, leading to a flurry of activity in trying to get information to the Department and the committee. When will the national aviation policy review conclude and be ratified? Knowing the end point would be welcome. It might move, which happens in public life and is acceptable, but people need to know because they are somewhat at panic stations at the moment.
