Commenting on the Government confirming Heathrow Airport Limited’s proposal for a third runway will be used as the scheme to progress the project, John Dickie, Chief Executive of BusinessLDN, said:
“The Government’s backing for a new runway at Heathrow is vital to the UK’s competitiveness as an island trading nation.
“Expansion will give businesses better connectivity to overseas markets, boost inbound tourism and drive growth.
“These plans must now move from the drawing board to delivery as quickly as possible to unlock the full benefits for the economy.
That will require regulatory decisions to move at pace, including the Civil Aviation Authority setting out how the costs for this project can be recovered to unlock the investment needed to deliver it.”
