Logistics UK responds to government's £1.1 billion investment in Stanstead Airport


Following the announcement of a £1.1 billion investment to expand Stanstead Airport announced today (14 October 2024), Alexandra Herdman, Senior Policy Manager at business group Logistics UK commented:

“The lack of commitment to expanding freight services at Stanstead Airport (as part of the government’s £1.1bn investment in the Stanstead Airport expansion) is disappointing and a missed opportunity for the logistics sector and the economy as a whole.

"Air freight plays a key role in the nation’s “just in time” supply chain, delivering high value, time-critical goods that industry and consumers rely on and which drive much-needed economic activity.

"Our members are urging government to rethink how this money is distributed to ensure that air freight can continue to expand and grow across the UK, for the benefit of all.”
