Ministers back costlier plan for third runway at Heathrow
The Guardian
|November 26, 2025
Ministers have backed a plan for a third runway at Heathrow to be in operation by 2035 after they opted for the longer, costlier runway drawn up by the airport's owners as the basis for its expansion.
The £33bn scheme for a 2.2-mile (3.5km) runway crossing the M25 was picked in preference as the “most credible and deliverable option” over a rival plan submitted by the Arora Group.
The transport secretary, Heidi Alexander, said the decision would enable swift progress to full planning permission by 2029, providing the runway proposal met the government's four tests, including environmental, economic, noise and air quality considerations.
She said: "We're acting swiftly and decisively to get this project off the ground so we can realise its transformational potential for passengers, businesses and our economy sooner."
