“My message to Theresa May (Prime Minister of the United Kingdom) is that it really is well beyond time for her government to take action,” said Robert Keen, Director General of the British International Freight Association (BIFA), as news surfaced recently of an imminent decision that will favor the expansion plan for London’s Heathrow International Airport.
   “It will be long overdue good news for our 1,500 member companies who have been dismayed over the ongoing delay,” Mr. Keen declared.
   “Despite the UK’s impending departure from the EU, government ministers continue to insist that the country remains outward-looking and open for business.
   “The UK's freight forwarding community, which is the engine of Britain’s international trade, believes an announcement that the Government will move forward with the recommendations made by the Airports Commission by building more capacity at Heathrow Airport would be massive sign that we are a confident, outward-looking trading nation, still capable of taking bold decisions that have a direct positive effect on the UK economy and its international connectivity and reputation,” Robert Keen concluded.
