Airports across the UK could be expanded, including the controversial third runway at Heathrow, under government growth plans. The Treasury is looking at whether to support a third runway at Heathrow, approve a second runway at Gatwick, and increase capacity at Luton airport.

EasyJet CEO Kenton Jarvis has expressed interest in expanding operations to London Heathrow Airport, saying the construction of a third runway would allow the LCC to operate from the UK’s largest gateway “at scale.”

Building a third runway at Heathrow Airport would have a "catastrophic" environmental impact, campaign groups have claimed amid reports that the chancellor is preparing to back the project. Rachel Reeves is expected to use a speech on growth next week to support the proposed third runway at the west London airport and endorse expansion at Gatwick and Luton airports,

Jan 22 (EFE) – The UK’s Labour Government is assessing the expansion of Heathrow, Gatwick, and Luton airports, which serve London, according to Bloomberg. These plans are part of the government’s economic strategy.
