This event, organised by Runways UK, considered the work of the Government’s Airport Commission. Contributions came from key aviation, environmental, economic, business and government figures, together with the promoters of the short-listed concepts, presenting their schemes publicly in a structured and comparable format, which enabled delegates to assess each one against the Commission’s own sift criteria. Going forward, Runways UK will become an annual event which will evolve with the progress of the Commission initially and thereafter with the development and sustainable delivery of the solutions it identifies as viable options for meeting the UK’s international connectivity needs in the short, medium and long term. Presentations, videos and tweets bare available online.
