Praise for runway plan at Gatwick

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."
