Aerospace

Aviation is a major UK sector, responsible for transporting over 235 million passengers and more than 2.3 million tonnes of freight annually.  Its operational footprint extends into a wide group of related manufacturing and service suppliers, from space hardware to airport ground operations, directly and indirectly employing over 230,000 people.

The role air transportation fulfils within the nation’s economy is larger still. Aviation enhances international trade by increasing connectivity between the UK and international destinations, facilitating improvements in productivity outside of its sector.

While some of these connectivity benefits could be achieved by substituting other transportation modes or greater embracing of virtual conferencing, it is clear that our reliance on air travel and transportation is likely to grow into the future. Aviation sector participants are today looking hard at how that growth can be profitably achieved, against a background of voter resistance to airport expansion, the focus on passenger safety and security and the cost and environmental impacts of its reliance on carbon fuels.
