Prime Minister Rachel Reeves set a vision on Wednesday to make the United Kingdom the world’s best connection place to make the UK the world’s best connection.
Leves stated that the government wanted the third runway in Heathrow (despite more than 10 years), which has shown more prominent expansion at Gatwick and Luton Airport. Stansted and City projects have already been approved.
According to Financial Times analysis, expanded airports can handle 39 million passengers every year.
The size of the plan is that the airport and its mainly international investor owners are not hindered by concerns about carbon emissions and are betting on air travel in the next few decades. It is shown.
“It’s correct to reach the back of the airport,” said Karen Dee, the highest executive of the Trade Association AirPortsuk. “Expansion of capacity supports growth. And we do not sacrifice our sustainability goals.”
However, industry experts are likely to have an impact on the new community due to noise pollution in order to accommodate the flying route in the sky in the southeastern part of London and the southeast of England in all extra aircraft. He said that he would throw serious tasks.
The enthusiasm from the Prime Minister has also deepened the tensions that are barely configured in the cabinet, which appeared in the most controversial infrastructure project in the UK in decades.
If successful, the airport may be more expensive, especially to raise the landing charges charged by the airline to collect the construction cost of the runway.
Nevertheless, CCHROM BASU, a partner of Lek Consulting, who advised HEATHROW, said that new abilities would be used.
“The London Market has been struggling to meet the demand for a while. I think investors can be comfortable. There is a business case of that level of demand,” he said.
The most serious challenge may be the expansion of the airport on British carbon emissions.
“I think it is a little difficult to see how the number of flights in Gatwick can be significantly expanded within the third runway and the government’s carbon budget of the government,” said the 2015 conservative. People who are closely involved in the decision to support the third runway in the government’s decision said. With Heathrow. However, the airport did not submit a plan application for pandemic.
Reeves has called himself to cast himself as a prime minister trying to make a “bold decision on national interests” and propose a plan to build a third runway this summer.
The previous government had provided politically controversial projects, but Heathrow’s highest executive, Thomas Waldi, now delivers the third runway with the airport with the government. He said he believed.
“We can trust the government. They have been with us for many years,” he said.
According to WOLDBYE, the airport would dust with a blue photo for the expansion of 2019. This was shelved when the pandemic attacked in 2020. In 2014, it includes 14 billion pounds in 2014, which includes a nearby M25 expressway to a tunnel and destroys 750 houses, elementary schools, and elementary schools. Energy plant.
However, few people doubt the size of the political issues that the project is still facing.
Earlier this month, Edori Milliband said it would look like surrender by the opponent of the largest cabinet of the project, and would not resign if the third runway went ahead.
However, behind the scenes, Milliband was said to be “alive” according to the government’s familiar government. He was not in the Cabinet Minister in a speech.
The other ministers were also surprised a few weeks ago, Reeves’s sudden decision. “There was a really big line between the Ministry of Finance and almost everyone,” said one person near the discussion.
Some White Hall officials suggested that Reeves tried to jump back on the IR IR (previously voted against this measure) to publicly support the project. He avoided so so far and asked a question about it last week in the prime minister’s question session.
Despite the warm words of Reeves, the skeptical of the government said that Heathrow’s development consent order needed to give severe standards for climate, air pollution and noise.
“They need to reach the same criteria as they went 24 hours before the announcement,” said they said. “There are many ways to run this.”
Meanwhile, London mayor Saddek Khan, a long -standing opponent, says, “I am not convinced that we can have hundreds of thousands of additional flights in Heathlow every year without a major impact on our environment.” I mentioned.
Ruth Cadbury, a Labor Party member of Brentford and Isleworth, and the chairman of the Transportation Selection Committee, said that the committee would “how clear the link between airport expansion and growth is clear.”
CADBURY stated that the project could meet the four tests set by the government on climate change, regional economic interests, noise, and air pollution.
“The test is whether the project will provide growth to the UK (company) as a whole, the nation and the region. Not so.”
In contrast, Reeves argued that the third runway would bring profits throughout the country.
Reeves has argued that the expansion is compatible with the government’s “legal, environment, and climate obligations.”
I agree that the aviation industry can grow during carbonization. The roadmap to Net ZERO 2050, released in 2022, assumes that the number of passengers may still increase while emissions are declining.
In order to do this, it depends largely on “sustainable air fuel” or SAFS, which is composed of various sources, from crops and used edible oil to home waste. The industry estimates that life cycles can reduce carbon dioxide by about 70 % more than conventional air fuel.
However, it is much more expensive than jet fuel and can now be used only in a small amount. Airline bosses have stated that the industry needs a lot of government support to increase SAF production to reach the Internet zero.
The government’s hope that Colin Walker, the manager of the research group of energy and climate information units, offsets an extraordinary discharge from the expansion of Heathrow, as “in realistic”. Hope was described.
“The third runway is far beyond the emissions beyond the ability to offset these fuel,” he said.
Meanwhile, a planned expert said that Heathrow failed to promote growth for decades.
“Heathrow must really run hard, and the government’s decision will be challenged on the way,” said Taylor Watering’s planning and planning, Alistar Watson.
“Only lawyers will win from now on.”
