Heathrow unveils runway plans
Heathrow chiefs today put forward three options for a new third runway at the west London airport, saying that any of the proposals will be good, and essential, for Britain.
Heathrow bosses to reveal third runway plans
The case for expansion at Heathrow will be presented today by bosses of the west London airport.
In pressing for a third runway at Heathrow, the airport's chiefs will explain why they think additional capacity at the UK's biggest airport is vital for Britain's economic success.
It is thought the Heathrow executives could suggest the third runway be sited to the south-west of the airport rather than to the north as was originally envisaged.
The Heathrow runway proposals will be presented to the Whitehall-appointed Airports Commission, headed by former Financial Services Authority chairman Sir Howard Davies.
