Heads of London's Largest Airports to Warn Against UK Leaving EU - Reports
01:15 GMT 23.02.2016 (Updated: 15:02 GMT 28.05.2023) The owners of London’s biggest airports, Heathrow and Gatwick, are expected to warn Tuesday that economic competitiveness may be undermined if the United Kingdom were to leave the European Union, local media reported.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the Sky News television channel, chief executives of Gatwick and Heathrow, Stewart Wingate and John Holland-Kaye, have signed a letter arguing that the agreement UK Prime Minister David Cameron had reached in Brussels on renegotiation of the country’s membership in the bloc was sufficient to oppose exiting it.

Heathrow Airport Holdings is also expected to issue a statement with its yearly results to highlight "uncertainty" which could come from exiting the European Union.
Britons are scheduled to go to the polls on June 23 for an in/out referendum, after Cameron and 27 of his European colleagues negotiated a deal to grant the UK a special status within the bloc.
Cameron sought to revise the terms of his country's EU membership, focusing on four main issues: shifting power away from EU authorities to the UK national legislature, exempting Britain from the EU "superstate" principle, stripping the euro of the single official EU currency status, and protecting the British economy by keeping eurozone members away from non-eurozone countries’ affairs.
