A world class Heathrow
London’s international links are among its greatest assets. The recent poor quality of the passenger experience – characterised by flight delays, excessive and unreliable waiting times, deteriorating terminals and distorted economic incentives – are the focus of our new report, which suggests short term proposals to restore Heathrow to world class status.
Transport
London First works alongside national and London government to improve the capital’s transport system through better operational management and an investment programme to increase capacity and reliability
London’s transport capacity is full. 27.2 million journeys are made in London everyday, 10 million of these on public transport. A safe, comfortable and efficient transport system is essential to support London’s growth and maintain London’s competitiveness as a global city.
With our members, we develop innovative solutions to London’s transport problems, helping to make London a better place to live, visit, work and do business. We ensure Transport for London’s (TfL) plans reflect business’ concerns and are cost effective.
