From the BBC:
BBC defence correspondent Caroline Wyatt said the decision to decommission the
Ark Royal immediately and axe the UK's force of Harrier jump jets meant that,
until at least 2019, no planes would be able to fly from the new aircraft
carriers.
Shadow defence secretary Jim Murphy described the arrangement as "peculiar" and
"driven by finance".
[To elaborate: Britain will have two new aircraft carriers...but, if I have
understood correctly, no planes to fly on/from them].
