This petition was submitted during the 2019 to 2024 Parliament
Rejected petition Build a 3rd runway at London Heathrow airport
Rejected on
Build a 3rd runway at London Heathrow so they can add more destinations
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
In October 2022 the Government said that it remains supportive of airport expansion where it can be delivered within our environmental obligations.
Heathrow expansion is a private sector project, so decisions about pursuing this are a matter for Heathrow Airport, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
