UK Backs Heathrow’s £33bn Third Runway Plan for 2035 Operation Aviation News – Ministers approve Heathrow expansion plan The UK government has endorsed Heathrow Airport’s proposal for a third runway, selecting the airport owners’ design as the preferred option and paving the way for the runway to open by 2035. The decision marks a major step in one of the country’s most significant aviation infrastructure projects. Ministers opted for the £33bn north-western runway scheme—stretching 2.2 miles (3.5km) and crossing the M25—after deeming it the “most credible and deliverable option.” The plan was chosen over a competing proposal from the Arora Group.
