Heathrow airport has set out a 30-year vision for its future, which includes building and bringing into operation a new third runway by 2026.

Heathrow's third runway is now in doubt

The airport on Tuesday (18 June) published its latest masterplan for the period through 2015, in which it sets out how it intends to deliver expansion.


A 12-week consultation is under way, giving the public and stakeholders the opportunity to provide feedback on the airport’s key proposals.


These include the new runway itself, airport infrastructure, road and rail connections, mitigation in respect of emissions, vehicle access charges and night flying, among other factors.
