For aviation growth to be credible and sustainable within the UK, it must be considered as part of a wider, integrated transport system. Airports do not function in isolation. Their performance, resilience and public value are intrinsically linked to surface access, road capacity and multimodal connectivity. In this session, National Highways will explore how strategic road infrastructure interfaces with airport expansion and operation. The discussion will examine surface access planning, network resilience, demand forecasting and the policy alignment required to support growth beyond the airport perimeter. The focus is not simply on capacity, but on coordination, how aviation growth can be enabled through integrated transport planning that strengthens regional connectivity, supports economic development and manages environmental and operational pressures across the wider network.
