BAR UK WELCOMES FORWARD THINKING AVIATION REPORT

05 October 2012 – The far reaching aviation proposals from the Policy Exchange demonstrate the type of radical thinking that can be applied to provide solutions to the aviation policy debacle.

Mike Carrivick, BAR UK Chief Executive, said “They appear to offer far more of a clean sheet approach than we have seen from other quarters and that is to be welcomed. The Government should certainly include these proposals as part of the independent Davis Commission report.

“Whilst many aspects may not prove to be practical, the fresh thinking is a tonic to the ‘do nothing’ approach of the Government. The report addresses the urgent need for additional hub airport capacity to avoid stagnation of a vital industry at a critical time, and which is costing the UK jobs.”
