Heathrow needs Burnham green light for runway by end of year, warns boss

Heathrow Airport's CEO has warned that the £33 billion expansion project could be in jeopardy if the government doesn't publicly endorse the plan by the end of the year. The project hinges on support from London Mayor Sadiq Khan, whose approval is crucial for the local authority backing. This expansion is not just a local matter; it's a key component of the UK's aviation future and economic growth, making government support vital for its success. Without it, Heathrow will need to reassess its plans, potentially impacting future travel and economic opportunities.
