Green light to aviation growth pleases UK business
08/12/09 | 09:29
The Committee on Climate Change has today published its report into UK aviation emissions. Commenting, David Frost, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said:
"The business community has continually stated that the aviation industry should work within strict environmental guidelines, and this report correctly points out that it can grow competitively to service the needs of our economy, without causing undue harm to the environment.
"With these independent recommendations now published, it is vital that the country is able to get the added capacity that it needs, and as quickly as possible."
