Matt Hancock: 'We shouldn't be flying less'

Health secretary Matt Hancock told 5 Live Breakfast that he thinks that connecting flights around the UK are 鈥渋ncredibly important鈥� and we shouldn鈥檛 be flying less despite air travel鈥檚 contributions to carbon emissions.

The government has stepped in to help save Flybe - the UK's biggest regional airline outside London.

More than eight million people fly with the regional airline each year to and from airports in Aberdeen, Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Exeter, Newcastle and Southampton, as well as to Europe.
