A 1 billion rise in Heathrow's debt has prompted campaigners against a third runway to argue the government's decision to back the airport's expansion is even more absurd. The company's accounts for last year, just released, show it reported 17.6bn of debt up from 16.6bn in 2024. The owners also reported pre-tax profits of 575m, down more than a third from 917m in 2024 - despite passenger numbers growing by 600,000.
