BAR_UK_

  1. @AvWeekRupa @bar_uk_ @avweekrupa The term 'cheeky' comes to mind!
  2. @AvWeekRupa Some eminently rejectable suggestions below: 'New generation Y', 'Butt-beater', and 'Broad comfort'.
  3. When Govt says Britain is open for biz, it shud be for it to enter, not leave! Continental airports laughing at us. See bit.ly/Ju5hqb
  4. Business leaders campaign for a new runway at LHR. The need is now, not 10 years time. See Evening Std article bit.ly/JpLOqp
  5. Heathrow volunteers to continue at peak times after the Olympics - well done BAA. See Independent article ind.pn/LavkVP
  6. Airport policy still remains topical. See BAR UK views in D.Tel tgr.ph/KGg7Nk and Travel Weekly bit.ly/LnCvpR
  7. News today that big Chinese company picks Paris not London for Euro HQ sadly not a shock. More airport capacity needed now, not in 10-15 yrs
  8. LHR now allowed to press its case for Runway 3 at long last, even if govt still anti. All options must be considered, so this is a step fwd.
  9. Sad but, UK border Qs still a massive issue, but not supposed to say so! Change of mindset, and greater use of pre-provided data, is needed!
  10. I'm hiring! Chief Executive at BAR UK LTD - London, United Kingdom #jobs lnkd.in/9sHm49
  11. A real wrench of a day as CEO, Mike Carrivick, announces retirement for 31 October. Like to be his successor? See bit.ly/JdFVuJ
  12. @KTAPR @bar_uk_ Thanks - you got there before I did!
  13. Airline boards outside UK encouraged to decide to fly elsewhere other than UK due negative aviation policy. See BAA PR ttp://bit.ly/J2jxYJ
  14. Airport immig. queues still a big worry. Full checks can remain by better use of advance info sent by airlines. see bit.ly/mZeeAE
  15. Was live on Breakfast Show Radio London at 0710 re Immig controls at LHR during Olympics. Lots of work yet before any certainty prevails.
  16. Budget news update - aviation policy delay may be a, surprisingly, welcome development. Govt must consider ALL options and be open-minded!
  17. Budget news (2) Aviation consultation delayed till summer. Airports full and plans for the future stalled - a geat deterrent for investors.
  18. Budget news (1) Double rate inflation APD increases going ahead. A great way to help economic recovery, stop family hols and deter visitors.
