LHR CEO, John Holland-Kaye said: “Heathrow is excited to be hosting the 3rd British-Irish Airports EXPO. As the UK’s gateway, Heathrow plays a key role in the country’s aviation industry and it’s great to have this opportunity to showcase the work being done both within our airport and across the sector. Collaboration like this is essential if Britain and Ireland are to secure the connectivity needed to thrive post-Brexit.”
