John Holland-Kaye, Chief Executive Officer of Heathrow, said:
“We are delighted to be named the best major airport in Europe. Heathrow’s passengers are getting better service at lower prices – and record numbers are choosing the UK’s hub airport. The Prime Minister is showing leadership and will decide on the critical national issue of Heathrow expansion in the next few days.
“Heathrow is the right choice to help make Britain stronger and fairer for everyone – that’s why there is such broad support across the UK from Newquay to Inverness for our plans – and we stand ready to deliver the runway that will keep Britain a confident, outward looking trading nation as soon as we get the greenlight from Government.”
