Airport chiefs said it was examining a new case for expansion following the pandemic. “We are conducting an internal review of the work we have carried out and the different circumstances we find the aviation industry in, and this will enable us to progress with appropriate recommendations and ways forward,” it said.

It added it still had government support for plans for a third runway “and the related infrastructure required to support an expanded airport”.
