Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce fully supports the development of the Emergency Runway into an operational runway. This project will improve the resilience of Air Traffic in the South East of England, plus give security to the existing work force and those required for the future development of the infrastructure. This development will also give employment opportunities to many more staff that will be required as development is completed. Modern technology has enabled the aircraft industry and engine manufacturers to produce quieter and more efficient aircraft and this will be improved on as time passes. Gatwick Airport has faced and improved many environment issues over recent years and reduced their carbon footprint considerably and we fully support this development.
