Heathrow Airport expansion

Heathrow plan 'will impact air quality progress'

A City Hall committee says the airport expansion will expose residents to "harmful" levels of noise.

Under the selected plan, the runway would be up to 3.5km long and require a new road tunnel under the airport.

British Airways CEO Sean Doyle tells an aviation conference he would prefer to see a shorter runway.

MP Tan Dhesi says the lack of rail connectivity between Berkshire and Heathrow makes no sense.

Two bids are being reviewed by the government: one from Heathrow Airport and another from Arora Group.

Some residents welcomed the plans, but others said they were worried about noise and traffic.

Heathrow says expansion is "urgent" for UK growth, but plans are heavily criticised over environmental concerns.

Arora Group says a shorter runway will avoid the cost and disruption of diverting the M25 motorway.
