The British International Freight Association (BIFA) welcomes the news that London Gatwick Airport’s £2.2 billion second runway project has secured government approval.

This is another important step in the planning process, but BIFA notes that the project could be delayed if the Gatwick scheme is subject to a judicial review.

Steve Parker, BIFA director general, said: “The airport has become an increasingly important hub for air cargo and volumes are expected to climb sharply once the second runway is operational. 

“Hopefully, the additional runway capacity will strengthen the airport’s position as a critical gateway for time-sensitive goods that move via aircraft.”
