ARRIVALS EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT...
EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT... This summer’s Airports Commission report
With Heathrow full and the UK slipping behind in the race for
new connectivity, it is essential that the Airports Commission delivers a solution that addresses the ticking time bomb of
our lack of spare hub capacity” Katja Hall, Deputy Director General, CBI
“We need to make the right choice in our generation to secure the prosperity we have enjoyed for future generations. Let’s choose to be ambitious. Let’s
expand Heathrow. Let’s get on with it” John Holland-Kaye, Chief Executive Offi cer, Heathrow Airport
“Our clients strongly support expanding Heathrow as their main preference, and we agree 100%. But we can also see that the expansion of Gatwick to accommodate the future growth of the world’s leisure travel market just makes very
good sense too” Anthony Rissbrook, MD, Hillgate Travel
“Being based in Scotland, I think I speak for the rest of the UK when I say any development must be well connected to regional airports”
Peter Macey, Facilities and Central Purchasing Officer, MDDUS
“The failure of governments to address capacity issues in the South East have decimated many regional services to the capital. The next government must act on the Commission’s report, with a view to ensuring capacity is made available to re-establish services”
Peter Simpson, CEO, bmi regional
After years of delay, most people agree on one thing – something needs to
happen. This is the first time Gatwick has been seriously considered for expansion, and there is now huge support and momentum behind us”
Stewart Wingate, CEO, Gatwick Airport
Heathrow’s waning importance globally has
been down to inertia and a lack of forward planning. By delaying a recommendation to this summer, we have already lost a highly
valuable position” John Grant, Executive Vice President, OAG
at any price. All airlines operating into Heathrow need to be sure they are getting value in terms of the guest experience and operational issues. A new runway can’t be an excuse to jack up fees without demonstrating value” James Hogan, President and CEO, Etihad Airways
It is not Heathrow
“Priority must be given to implementing the decision on runway capacity and ensuring new capacity is integrated into the UK’s regional airports. The delays in getting policy through parliament often means that by the time the project is fi nished it is already out of date” Lesley Turvey, 3SixtyGlobal
