The much anticipated Sir Howard Davies' Airport Commission Interim Report is expected to be published between now and the end of the year.  The timing is such that the long holiday period will allow those interested to carefully digest its findings and begin to plan tactics for the real thing sometime after the 2015 election.
 
Soon (Thursday 16 January – Grange Tower Bridge Hotel) Runways UK is organising an event which it is hoped will act as a platform for all of the short-listed scheme promoters.
 
Speakers will not be formally announced until after Davies reports but also lined up, and not representing any particular lobby group are Baroness Jo Valentine, Chief Executive of London First; Andrew Haines, Chief Executive, Civil Aviation Authority (CAA); Rafael Schwartzman, Regional Vice President Europe, International Air Transport Association (IATA); Vicky Pryce, economist and former Joint Head of the UK’s Government Economic Service; Professor Paul Hooper, Chair in Environmental Management and Sustainability, Manchester Metropolitan University; Simon Calder, journalist and broadcaster and Lord Adonis, former Secretary of State for Transport.
 
Summing up is the The Rt Hon Baroness (Brenda) Dean, trade unionist with an interest in aviation. www.runwaysuk.com
