Heathrow Airport Limited commissioned WPI Economics to assess the state of the UK economy following the EU Referendum and to better understand the role that the quick approval of the third runway at Heathrow could play in ensuring the strength of the economy in the remainder of this Parliament.
This report looks at the immediate future of the UK economy, the government’s industrial strategy, and specifically, the impacts of approving Heathrow’s third runway as a case study of strengthening the UK post-Brexit economy.
The report also highlights the immediate job creation benefits that are generated upon granting permission for major infrastructure projects (graduate, STEM, and high-skilled jobs); short-term benefits which are often overlooked.
