Bigger isn’t always better. Expansion could weaken Heathrow’s finances and push up passenger prices. More debt. More risk. Higher costs. The Government must answer: why should travellers and taxpayers bail out Heathrow’s gamble?
#NoThirdRunway #FinancialGamble
Heathrow already carries £17.6bn in debt, and expansion means stacking billions more risk onto an overstretched balance sheet. Expansion isn’t “investment” - it’s a balance-sheet gamble with passengers footing the bill.
#NoThirdRunway #HeathrowExpansion
Heathrow’s debt ratio sits at 87%. Add the expansion, and even minor drops in passenger demand could trigger higher costs, weaker credit, and rising fares. Who carries that risk? Not Heathrow — you do.

#Heathrow is already massively in debt. Add expansion, and even minor drops in passenger demand could trigger higher costs, weaker credit, and rising fares. Who carries that risk? Potentially UK taxpayers if it ends up needing a bail out and/or public subsidies.

The true cost of #Heathrow expansion remains opaque. Who will pay for the new road and rail links? Who will pay for the carbon cost? Who will fund the NHS? We certainly don't want our taxes wasted on #Climate destroying airport expansion! Do you?
#NoThirdRunway #HeathrowExpansion #PublicCost
Heathrow expansion could burden taxpayers and travellers alike. With billions in hidden infrastructure, carbon, and financing costs, it’s time to ask: is this really worth it?
#NoThirdRunway #HeathrowExpansion #PublicMoney
Financing Heathrow’s expansion will cost over £50bn, pushing up passenger fares by £250 per family of four, pricing hard working families out of their annual holiday. The public pays more, while the benefits remain uncertain.
#NoThirdRunway #HeathrowCosts #FairFares
The true cost of Heathrow expansion remains unclear. Who will pay for the new road and rail links? Who will pay for the carbon cost? Who will fund the NHS? Without transparency, the public will be left footing the bill.

🇬🇧 Numbers don’t lie. 3rd Heathrow runway would hurt regions, not help. DfT predicts growth at non-London airports 24% lower by 2030, 17% lower by 2050 if Heathrow expands.
Britain deserves balanced growth, not London at the expense of elsewhere.
#NoThirdRunway #HeathrowExpansion #RegionalAirports
And while we are on the subject of #airport expansion, it turns out that expanding #Heathrow would be bad for growth and jobs in the UK's regions, whilst further increasing the pressure on London's already creaking infrastructure. A lose-lose scenario!
#NoThirdRunway #Don'tGrowHeathrow
A shocking example of how UK's #DepartmentForTransport 's general incompetence and inability to add up is helping the Government to wrongly claim that it's possible to hit our #carbon budgets and expand airports. Well done to @theaef.bsky.social for their superb detective work. #NoThirdRunway

Yet again the BBC's Today programme allowed the CEO of #Heathrow to claim that expansion would bring big benefits to the UK without any challenge. It's time for more balanced reporting, including consideration of the environmental damage from #airport expansion. #NoThirdRunway #Don'tGrowHeathrow

Heathrow expansion would add another 765 flights every day delivering industrial‑scale noise and pollution across London & the South East. #NoThirdRunway Join our campaign now: www.no3rdrunwaycoalition.co.uk

On Wednesday, the CCC will publish advice on UK's carbon budget for the UK from 2038 to 2042. It will provide a feasible pathway to #NetZero.
I expect it to cover aviation #NoThirdRunway but say little about #Scope3 emissions.
It was good to see you on tv last night hammering home the points on why a 3rd runway is such a bad idea. Well done & thank you 👏🏼 #nothirdrunway

So shocking to hear @keirstarmer.bsky.social say “Build baby build” parroting the vile Trump. What’s else will @teamlabouruk.bsky.social take from that horrible man’s playbook? Labour killed the #ClimateandNatureBill.
Next stop Paris?

You couldn’t make it up….
Rachel Reeves was facing criticism on Saturday night as it was confirmed that a report she cited as evidence that a third runway at Heathrow would boost the UK economy was commissioned by the airport itself.
