The British International Freight Association (BIFA) has long advocated for Heathrow Airport’s expansion. BIFA’s director general, Steve Parker, criticized UK governments for lacking vision amid increasing air transport demands. He emphasized that the government, not BIFA, should assess the submitted proposals, urging swift decisions to enable the third runway by 2035. BIFA aims to enhance the UK’s aviation capacity and maintain its status as a key European hub. Meanwhile, BIFA is collaborating with Heathrow on cargo development plans to modernize and improve efficiency in response to rising demand.
