The advertising campaign has been timed to coincide with the and will run until July 19, the deadline set by the commission for long-term proposals from airports and project sponsors.
Chief executive Paul Kehoe, said: “Our aviation sector is currently failing to adequately serve the majority of 海角视频 businesses that are located outside of the South East.”
