Heathrow welcomes interim report from the Airports Commission, which short-lists a Heathrow north-west third runway as one of the options for solving the UK’s aviation capacity crisis.
As the UK’s only hub airport, and the only airport with a proven ability to deliver direct and frequent flights to long-haul markets, Heathrow is the quickest, cheapest and surest way to connect the UK to growth.
Heathrow’s shortlisted option for a full-length runway located to the north-west is better than the 2003 Air Transport White Paper proposal for a short third runway.
