Parmjit Dhanda, Executive Director of Back Heathrow said: “For months we've heard warm words from the government about a rescue package for the aviation industry. Yet, there was not one mention of it from the Chancellor in his statement. 

“A sector that employs over 1 million people and has the capacity to help lift the UK out of this economic crisis has been left on its knees, to fend for itself. The Prime Minister's indifference towards Heathrow, airlines, the aviation industry and his own constituent's jobs in Hillingdon is astonishing. For the sake of his constituents and the UK's economy he needs to put this right, quickly.
