The International Air Transport Association (IATA) says it welcomes the UK Government’s renewed commitment to expanding Heathrow Airport, which it says will unlock economic growth, enhance global connectivity, and support trade and tourism.

London Heathrow (LHR) retains its title as the world’s most connected airport for the third consecutive year, offering over 59,000 possible connections to 226 destinations on the busiest day, according to the latest OAG Megahubs report.

Last week’s closing of Heathrow is ‘yet another case’ of Heathrow letting down both travellers and airlines, according to Willie Walsh, IATA’s director general.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has reacted to the Court of Appeal’s decision to block Heathrow expansion on the grounds of incompatibility with the Paris Climate Agreement.
