Heathrow’s chief executive, Thomas Woldbye, said: “A third runway is critical for the country’s future economic success, and I confirm we will submit our plans for a third runway to government this summer.
London Heathrow, the busiest airport in Britain, has announced plans for adding a third runway and substantial expansion of existing terminals.
“Ahead of then, as part of a phased expansion programme and supported by the government’s clear backing, I am today confirming multi-billion-pound investment plans, 100 per cent privately funded, to upgrade our terminal buildings, enhance passenger experience, and improve resilience and sustainability.
“Because Heathrow is so busy, aircraft coming in to land at Heathrow are frequently held in holding stacks,” the airport says.
“Expansion at Heathrow will provide consumer and economic benefits and represents a unique opportunity for easyJet to operate from the airport at scale for the first time and bring with it lower fares for consumers.”.
