Heathrow Airport One Hub or None

26th March 2014

The British Chambers of Commerce in association with Heathrow Airport has organised a national programme of events to hear business opinion on the aviation capacity debate.

New research from Frontier Economics has shown that the lack of capacity at Heathrow is already costing the UK up to £14bn a year in lost trade and this figure could rise to £26bn a year by 2030. The Sheffield Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a 'One Hub or None' seminar as part of the programme. Participants will have the chance to: • Hear what can be done to close the £14bn trade gap; • Explore why a hub airport is different and uniquely valuable to the UK; • Put their questions to Heathrow Airport's executives; • Share opinion on how this debate affects local business.
