As the Airports Commission develops its thinking on the UK’s future airport strategy for government consideration during 2015, the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) has now produced its own report outlining long-term strategic prospects for the growth of air transport.

Entitled The Future of Aviation, the CILT’s key point is that the economic,
environmental, and social benefits of aviation are only likely to be optimised if
the UK prospers at least to the same level as the rest of the world. As an
international activity the benefits to the UK from air transport will be not be
realised in isolation.
