Responding to today’s Court of Appeal ruling on Gatwick’s expansion plans, Muniya Barua, Deputy Chief Executive at BusinessLDN, said:
“Today’s ruling is the final step in a long-running process that clears the way for Gatwick’s Northern Runway project to move forward, providing welcome certainty for businesses, investors and communities.
“The airport’s expansion will strengthen London’s connections with key international markets, help to create 14,000 jobs and provide a £1bn boost to the economy every year.
“With the UK seeking to drive investment and growth, expanding aviation capacity is a vital part of maintaining London’s position as a leading global city.”
