HEATHROW’s management is ready to restart the plan to build a third runway at the airport, assuming that the government will have a strong support this week, and the infrastructure project that is the most expensive and controversial in the UK. It shows one return.
The boss of the British hub airport is eager to grasp the sudden windows of an open political opportunity, and Prime Minister Rachel Reeves hopes to support the expansion of major speeches on economic growth this week. I am.
Heathrow’s Chief Manager Thomas Waldi has long said that the airport would only go ahead for the complete support of the government.
The third runway in Heathrow is surprised by residents, environmental organizations, and some labor politicians, and is concerned about local noise and air pollution.
However, it is the size and cost of construction that can bring the largest barriers to expansion.
People who explain the airport plan would prefer to update the pandemic before pandemic for the billion pounds of the current boundary if it went ahead. I mentioned.
In addition to the 3.5km runway and the northwest of the current border of the airport, this work also includes a detour of a nearby M25 expressway to a tunnel to ensure room for expansion. 。 In the process, 750 houses and elementary schools are demolished.
Since the Nun Runway Project in the northwestern part was supported by the airport committee in 2015 in 2015, other options such as small runways on the current boundary of the airport are considered. People said not. The 2018 parliament and the Supreme Court in 2020.
The biggest unknown is the Project PriceTag. Heathrow’s third runway is one of the most expensive private sector infrastructure projects in the UK. The estimated cost in 2014 was 14 billion pounds, but the number is much higher.
Noble Francis, the Faculty of Economics of the Construction Product Association, stated that the cost was rising rapidly, and was questioning whether the UK had a construction skill to provide projects on that size.
The third runway competes for government plans to build 1.5 million houses for five years, more water infrastructure, data centers, and gigafactory.
The number of people working in construction has decreased by 366,000 in the past five years, the second lowest since 2001.
“The big problem in the construction is who actually does all work, and how much it cost,” Francis said. “It is very unknown whether you have skills.”
Heathrow’s CEO Thomas Woldbye has long stated that the airport has only demanded the government’s full support via Gotty Images.
Since the executives in the aviation industry believe that this extension is politically and technically challenging, Heathrow wants to go beylives simply to inform her of her approval on the third runway’s idea this week. You will think.
How can the government’s planning reform, such as potential delays in judicial examination and redrawing the UK airspace that comply with all new flights, can make the government smooth. I want to clarify.
However, most of the government needs to agree to reform Heathrow’s financing method.
As a monopoly in the region, the airport is funded through a regulated asset base model, like a water company that raises stocks and debt and collects costs from consumers.
Heathrow is regulated by the Civil Aviation Bureau. I agree with how much it can be collected every five years, taking off and landing on airline tax. The costs of these rates and the cost of providing services to the current approximately 19 billion Heathrow debt are handed over to passengers.
HEATHROW and the airline customers agree that the airport charging models need to be reformed, but do not agree with that method.
One option is a 25 -year -old rechargeable cycle (potentially 25 years) for 25 years to run in line with the current system to support the payment of the runway.
Tim Alderslade, the highest executive officer of Lobby Group AIRLINES UK, stated that airlines support growth, but “at an affordable price, operational recovery in accordance with the pure zero commitment in the industry. It brings a meaningful improvement of power. ”

The next step at the airport is to submit a plan for expansion. This must be given a “development consent order” by the Transport Secretary.
GATWICK and LUTON’s extensions have a Live DCO application, but the HEATHROW plan is not so advanced.
Some experts believe that projects will not get off the ground because the task of building the third runway is very important.
The government has previously stated that it will not be allowed to expand the runway unless it satisfies British climate goals, restricts noise pollution and air pollution, and does not provide economic growth nationwide.

Prime Minister Keel and Prime Minister voted against the scheme in 2018. London’s mayor Saddque Khan IR said last week, “I wouldn’t HE if I returned with a new runway supported by the government. Stand with my partner and colleagues. Another legal issue.
The airport’s new board of directors was held last week following the change of ownership, and purchased 38 % of the deep sovereignty funds of the French private equity group Ardian and Saudi Arabia.
Prior to hearing details from Reevess, the Board of Directors said that they had supported the expansion of the airport in principle.
Tonitrabbers, a professor at the London School of Economics, said it was an important moment for the government.
He states: “The opposite of the third runway in Heathrow means that the new interests of the Prime Minister bring the ultimate test of the government’s growth. Most of the runway is driving. You can overcome all plannings. “
