Industrial leaders in the UK including the Confederation of British Industry, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and airport operator BAA have today (22 November) collectively voiced strong support for a third runway at London Heathrow after the Government initiated a public consultation on the issue.

BAA chief executive Stephen Nelson says the plans his company are putting forward for consultation are much the same as they were two years ago: they include a 2,200m runway on Heathrow’s northern side, located parallel to the two existing runways, expanding the airport boundary considerably, and the addition of a new terminal in the airport’s north side.
