BIFA backs Airports Commission's recommendations, urges state action
THE British International Freight Association's (BIFA) has applauded the recommendations of the Airports Commission on airport capacity in the UK for backing the third runway option at London Heathrow.
"We trust that today's report will finally lead to some action," said BIFA director general Robert Keen.
"It is time to pull together and support the plans to improve infrastructure at Heathrow to maintain it as Europe's main aviation hub," he said.
"Over the past decades, successive UK governments have shown a singular lack of vision in the face of a massive surge in air transport and consequent pressure on existing airport infrastructure in the south east," said Mr Keen.
"BIFA's hope is that the recommendation delivered in today's report moves things forward in regard to getting started on an expansion of UK aviation hub capacity," he said.
