A major national summit looking at the impact of Coronavirus on the aviation industry will be held in Hounslow on Tuesday.

The borough is home to much of the workforce that powers Heathrow Airport, which is the UK's largest private sector employer.

Research by Oxford Economics forecasts that up to £1 billion could be lost from Hounslow's economy due to the downturn at Heathrow.

More than 40,000 jobs are at risk due to the wider impact.
