BCC’s Aviation Report receives strong support from BAR UK

In full support of today’s aviation report issued by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), The Board of Airline Representatives in the UK (BAR UK) urges the Secretary of State for Transport to action the findings of the BCC report in formulating its aviation policy.

BAR UK, which represents 86 airlines, is in total agreement with report findings, which highlight the growing lack of UK connectivity, and the need to act sooner rather than later in order to provide the structure for sustainable aviation and economic growth.

Mike Carrivick, BAR UK chief executive, said “The BCC report illustrates just how vital air transport is for the economic recovery of the UK. The business world is being held back by the lack of capacity to serve new and existing destinations by air, and is justifiably concerned that new and emerging markets will be lost to competing economies.”
