Logistics UK endorses Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander’s approval of plans for a second runway at Gatwick Airport. Senior Policy Manager Alexandra Herdman argues that converting the standby runway into a fully operational one will enhance capacity at Europe’s busiest single-runway airport. With a significant portion of UK air cargo transported in passenger aircraft, increasing passenger services could also boost air cargo capacity, potentially doubling tonnage and easing supply chain challenges. Additionally, advancements in aviation technology aim to promote a more sustainable and efficient air transport sector.
