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.”

Rachel Reeves is reportedly set to back expansions at Heathrow and Gatwick airports as the Chancellor hopes to salvage the UK's flatlining economy. This would include a third runway at Heathrow and a second at Gatwick. In addition, it is believed that the Government is to greenlight an application for a near doubling of capacity at Luton.

The government is poised to back expansion plans at Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton airport as part of plans to stimulate economic growth.

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.

Heathrow Airport could soon expand if government gives the green light to controversial plans to build a third runway. The UK’s busiest airport in Hillingdon, west London, is rumoured to get permission to build its third runway.
