Bloomberg reports chancellor Rachel Reeves is keen to approve new runways and terminal buildings to boost the economy after months of disappointing performance following the general election.
The newswire claims the government will support a third runway at Heathrow and bring the second runway at Gatwick into full-time use. Expansion of Luton airport will also be given the go ahead.
The government has previously said all expansion proposals must contribute to economic growth while staying in line with environmental obligations.
