Rachel Reeves has expressed her backing for the expansion of Heathrow with a third runway, arguing that it will address environmental issues by reducing air traffic circling London. In a preview of her upcoming speech on economic growth, she emphasized the need for sustainable aviation and highlighted previous government blockages in airport expansion. Reeves pointed out the government's recent approvals for developments at London City and Stansted airports and believes the new runway will benefit both trade and families seeking affordable travel options.
"A lot has changed in terms of aviation. A third runway will mean that instead of circling London, flights can land at Heathrow, reducing emissions from air traffic."
"We are getting on and delivering, that will be good for investment and trade in our country and also good for families wanting to go on cheaper holidays as well."
