Future Heathrow
Future Heathrow is the name of the forum that has been founded by parties who have a shared interest in modernising Heathrow. They include trade unions, business groups and airlines. BAR UK is one of those founding members.
Its aim is to effectively and accurately make the case that Heathrow is a uniquely valuable asset, and vital piece of infrastructure, for the UK as a whole, and not just London.
It is also critically important to the economic prosperity of west London and the Thames Valley region. It seeks to convince people that it is possible to develop Heathrow in a way that allows it to retain its premier position and in a manner that is sensitive to environmental issues and the needs of the local population. There are many different audiences to address and many competing interests. Its aim in everything it says and does will be to address problems that arise from further development of the airport in a positive and constructive manner.
If BAR UK and its members thought that another site was a viable replacement for H.eathrow, it would enjoy our support; no such site has yet been found (see 'Thames Estuary Airport' in the listing on the left of this page).
