Heathrow third runway – in Birmingham?
“We have plenty of capacity and, linked to high-speed rail, we are uniquely positioned to not only claw back people from our own region, who make the long journey to Heathrow, but to attract passengers from the overheated South East.
“We will not just be London’s third runway as we have our own traffic – but by attracting those who waver towards Heathrow to use Birmingham instead, will create jobs and help to rebuild the local economy.
“Positioned at the heart of the country we are perfectly placed for those visitors from abroad who want to experience all that the region, and further afield, has to offer. Birmingham’s reputation continues to rise and is truly a destination which provides the perfect base for foreign visitors.”
