We are the campaign to expand airport capacity in London and the South East to protect and enhance Britain’s status as a global aviation hub. Now that the Airports Commission has published its Final Report our aim is to ensure the Government responds to the Commission’s clear recommendation to build a new runway at Heathrow in a timely and positive fashion; and commits to an early Parliamentary vote by summer 2016 at the latest.
It’s time to Let Britain Fly.
