Rwyf hefyd wedi siarad â Gweinidogion yr Adran Busnes, Ynni a Strategaeth Ddiwydiannol (BEIS) heddiw gan bwysleisio bod yn rhaid i bob llywodraeth weithio gyda'i gilydd, gan ddechrau gydag uwchgynhadledd gweithgynhyrchu uchel ei werth i gefnogi'r sector hwn a sectorau strategol bwysig eraill. Yn benodol, rwyf wedi trafod cymorth strategol diwydiannol i helpu'r cwmni a'r sector ehangach gan gynnwys cronfa cadwyn gyflenwi, oriau hyblyg (wythnos waith fyrrach), cynllun sgrapio awyrennau i gael gwared ag awyrennau hŷn, llai ecogyfeillgar a chymorth ymchwil a thechnoleg. Rwyf hefyd wedi trafod â nhw syniadau arloesol megis dileu’r Doll Teithwyr Awyr dros dro, hybu teithiau hedfan mewnol, rhoi cymhelliant i gwmnïau yn y DU gyflawni eu gwaith cynnal a chadw, adfer ac atgyweirio (MRO) yn y DU, rhoi llawer mwy o gymorth i fentrau ymchwil a buddsoddi ‘gwyrdd’ ac, yn olaf, datblygu strategaethau amddiffyn ac awyrofod sy’n pwyso o blaid dyfodol y sector hediadau.
I have also spoken to BEIS Ministers today stating that all governments must work together, starting with a high value manufacturing summit to support this and other strategically important sectors. Specifically I have discussed areas of industrial strategic support to help both the company and the wider sector including a supply chain fund, flexible hours (shorter working week), and an aircraft scrappage scheme to retire older, less environmentally friendly aircraft and R&T support. I have also discussed with them innovative ideas such as temporarily removing Air Passenger Duty, stimulating internal flights and incentivising UK companies to carry out their MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) in the UK, delivering significantly more support to ‘green’ R&I initiatives and finally, developing positively weighted defence and space strategies around the future flight sector.
