Heathrow utfärdar uttalande inför kanslerens budget för 2016

LONDON, England - Inför dagens budgetuttalande från kanslern uppmanade Heathrow-vd John Holland-Kaye regeringen att ta tillfället i akt att expandera Storbritanniens enda navflygplats:

“If the Government is serious about building the country’s economic strength then it must prioritize sorting out the UK’s airport hub capacity crunch by approving Heathrow expansion once the EU debate is settled. Further delay just costs the country. To keep our strong position as a trading island we need to be connected to the world’s fastest growing economies by the only way possible, through an expanded Heathrow.

“The sooner we can get started the sooner the nation will feel the benefit. The construction will be privately financed and the prize is up to £211bn of economic growth and 180,000 new jobs across the whole of the UK – let’s get this country building.”
