Heathrow third runway may open four years late
Heathrow Airport indicated its proposed third runway could face a four-year postponement due to planning and regulatory complications. The government's aspiration for the new £33bn runway was an opening by 2035; however, Heathrow now aims to obtain planning consent by 2029. The Department for Transport commented that the project's schedule had "always been ambitious" and affirmed its ongoing collaboration with stakeholders.
