The £49BN plan to fix Europe's most divisive airport
Heathrow is one of the most important airports in world travel. Nearly 85 million people passed through its terminals in 2025 making it the busiest airport in Europe. And while its status on the world stage is undisputed, Heathrow's future is in doubt. It's at breaking point.
For the facility to continue performing as a global powerhouse, it needs an expansion. For decades, the UK has debated an overhaul of Heathrow which could include building a third runway but the topic is incredibly divisive. A new proposal was backed by the government last year and, at least it seems, progress is once again being made. It's time the UK made a decision about its most important gateway.
