GTMC joins airline body

Saturday, 29 Jun, 2018 0

The GTMC has joined BAR UK (Board of Airline Representatives) as an associate member.

The business travel body will work with BAR UK to support a number of campaigns focused on tackling the issues airports and airlines face around taxation, Brexit and UK border control, most recently highlighted with excessive waiting times at Heathrow.

GTMC CEO Adrian Parkes said: "We share BAR’s thoughts around the length of time it can take for non-EU and UK business travellers to pass through border control, despite the availability of E gates.

"The government must pay due diligence to ensure business travellers have the right access and airports have the adequate infrastructure in place to ease entry into the UK.

"A lack of support at the digital border to ease such access is short-sighted and detrimental to the business travel community and UK plc and we support BAR in urging the government to take swift and immediate action to address this."

Dale Keller, chief executive BAR UK added: "Having the knowledge and insight from a business travel perspective will be invaluable in informing our strategies and supporting our ambitions for more investment in air travel."
