More details

London Heathrow is a global hub airport, the UK’s only hub airport, working close to 100% capacity at 80 million passengers per year. It shall be unable to cope without a much needed expansion. Estimates show it shall deliver up to £187 billion in economic benefits by 2050. A 3rd Runway can double Heathrow’s cargo capacity, connect business in the UK to the rest of the world and benefit tourism. More flights from LHR to the rest of the UK will bring economic gain to every region of the country.
