Addressing the Failure to Deliver a Northern Ireland Aviation Strategy (Revised Wording)
That this Assembly notes with concern the ongoing failure of the Department for the Economy to develop and publish an aviation policy or strategy for Northern Ireland; highlights that this delay is holding back economic development, undermining opportunities for investment, tourism, and business competitiveness; stresses that airports across Northern Ireland each have a vital role to play in promoting export growth; further stresses that any future aviation strategy must treat all airports equitably; calls on the Minister for the Economy to publish a comprehensive aviation strategy for Northern Ireland, including measurable targets and specific proposals for a route development fund, within the next three months; and further calls on the Minister to outline what progress has been made towards increasing external sales intensity from 45 per cent to 60 per cent of GDP by 2030, as envisaged by the Northern Ireland Export Forum.
