Commenting on the release of the report by the Airports Commission backing a third runway at Heathrow, research & policy director at Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce James Bream said:
“We are pleased that the commission has delivered a clear recommendation for the building of a new runway at Heathrow, which is the favoured option for North-east business.
“Our connections to global markets are vital to the continuing prosperity of the North-east, with more than half of our members rating access to Heathrow as either important or critical to their business.
“We have consulted extensively with our members over the last 18 months and we have worked hard to make their views heard in the right places.
“Business now needs decisive action from the Government.
“The UK and our region cannot afford further dithering, delay or denial for this vital project
