Heathrow cargo climbs 7% in wake of Government's backing for
third runway
-- Heathrow welcomed 6.5 million passengers in October alongside
a 7% surge in cargo volumes. Heathrow is Britain's largest port,
accounting for almost 30% of all UK exports by value outside the EU
last year
-- Cargo growth was particularly strong to fast-growing markets
in Latin America and East Asia (Mexico up 28%, China up 21% and
Brazil up 18%). Trade with India, the world's fastest growing large
economy, also increased in October with cargo up 3.1% as the Prime
Minister returned from her first bilateral overseas visit to forge
a new global role for the UK
-- Emerging market passenger growth was also strong, with Mexico
up 9.4%, East Asia up 2.8% and India up 2.1% - evidence that demand
to fly from the UK's front door remains strong
-- Larger, quieter and more efficient aircraft continued to be a
driver for growth in passenger volumes which are up 0.5%
year-to-date in 2016 as airlines deploy more and more new
generation Airbus A380s, A350s and Boeing 787s at Heathrow. Overall
passenger volumes for October were down 1.2% over the same month
last year due in part to cancellations stemming from Hurricane
Matthew in the United States
-- In a major boost for the UK economy, the Government announced
its support for a new runway at Heathrow - the first full-length
runway in the south east since the second world war. The decision
to back Heathrow and expand the country's biggest port underlined
the UK's 'open for business' credentials. The Government will begin
consulting on a draft national policy statement in early 2017
-- Britain's supply chain benefitted from an immediate boost
following the Government's decision as Heathrow confirmed GBP50m of
contracts would be issued before the end of 2017. 95% of Heathrow's
procurement spend on expansion will be with the British supply
chain, 60% of which will be outside London
-- Heathrow's Skills Taskforce - chaired by Lord Blunkett - held
its inaugural meeting in October. The Taskforce is composed of
experts drawn from business, unions and education and aims to
deliver a third runway with a long-term skills legacy for local
communities
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said:
"In October, the Prime Minister sent a clear message to the
world that her Government would expand Heathrow, showing that
Britain is open for business and confident in its future.
"With the support of communities across the UK, Heathrow is now
working at pace to deliver the benefits of Britain's new runway -
an affordable plan that creates more jobs, boosts exporters and
builds an economy that is stronger and fairer for everyone - as
quickly as possible."
