That is a matter for the DAA. The haulage industry, which I have met, is very keen to have the tunnel go ahead. They need it because it takes extra time to travel around the perimeter. I can appreciate that there are different viewpoints but we have an ecosystem in respect of our supply chain and getting passengers, including businesspeople, in and out of the airport. We need to ensure our goods are moving across the country as quickly and efficiently as possible. The haulage sector has been calling for the tunnel to be progressed.
