Heathrow Airport has announced a major multi-billion pound expansion plan which includes the construction of a third runway within ten years, alongside the enhancement of terminals 2 and 5. Chief Executive Thomas Woldbye stated that this expansion, funded privately, aims to improve passenger experience and support economic growth in the UK. However, this ambitious plan has faced criticism for its potential environmental impact, raising concerns about how it aligns with the government's goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Opposition exists from figures like London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who intends to challenge the expansion.
