Heathrow Business Coalition

As the UK’s only hub airport and the best-connected airport in the world, Heathrow connects the UK to global growth. The airport welcomes 83 million passengers a year and serves as Britain’s hub for tourism, investment and trade – with over 26% of the UK’s exports (by value) handled at Heathrow.

 

""
The airport is home to 80,000 colleagues, 1,200 businesses and 275 shops and 75 food and beverage retailers.
""
Over 50% of Heathrow’s supply chain spend benefits businesses outside of London and the South East.
This is why the Heathrow Business Coalition was created – to bring Heathrow’s business community together with a common goal: to support the Government in delivering economic growth. When Heathrow thrives, so do businesses across the UK.
