Praise for runway plan at Gatwick
Burton Mail
|September 23, 2025
GATWICK Airport's £2.2 billion second runway plan could create thousands of jobs and help "kickstart the economy", Chancellor Rachel Reeves has said.
-
In the privately financed project, the West Sussex airport will move its emergency runway 12 metres north, enabling it to be used for departures of narrow-bodied planes such as Airbus A320s and Boeing 737s. This will enable it to be used for about 100,000 more flights per year.
Ms Reeves said: "This Government promised to kickstart the economy - and we are. A second runway at Gatwick means thousands of more jobs and billions more in investment for the economy."
