The Advantage Travel Partnership CEO Julia Lo Bue-Said on Heathrow expansion

 

In a significant move for the UK’s aviation sector, Chancellor Rachel Reeves has confirmed the government’s support for major airport infrastructure expansions, including the long-debated third runway at Heathrow. This decision aims to enhance the country’s global connectivity, ease airport congestion, and stimulate economic growth.

 

Julia Lo Bue-Said, Chief Executive Officer of The Advantage Travel Partnership, said: “We’re pleased to see the government supporting essential infrastructure growth across several of the UK’s major airports including the third runway at Heathrow. These expansions will significantly improve the passenger experience for both leisure and business travellers with a wider range of departures, increased competition for pricing, and reduced congestion and delays. Alongside this, it will enhance connectivity to global markets, driving both tourism and business investments. Having the necessary facilities available to maintain a thriving inbound and outbound travel industry is vital in order for the UK to remain a major international hub and to continue driving economic growth.”
