Heathrow’s 3rd Runway is Cancelled

🛫 Heathrow's Third Runway Canceled: What's Next for the Airport? 🌍
Heathrow Airport's plans for growth are taking a different route after the cancellation of the third runway. The leaked details of the airport's strategy show a shift in focus, with its Spanish owner Ferrovial potentially selling its stake to the Saudi Public Investment Fund for a hefty sum.
Despite this, the new Heathrow team is determined to increase annual passenger numbers to 96 million by 2036, up from the 2019 record of 81 million passengers. But here's the question: how do you welcome more passengers without a costly additional runway, estimated at £14 billion?
Did you know? Heathrow sees around 1300 flights daily, with a plane either taking off or landing every 45 seconds. So, what are the options for growth within the existing infrastructure?
The leaked plans suggest a few possibilities. One option is to raise the annual flight cap from 480,000 to 505,000, pending government approval. Another idea involves utilizing more buses to ferry passengers from the terminal to aircraft, allowing planes to be parked further away.
Lastly, there's talk of using the existing runways more efficiently, enabling planes to take off and land in closer succession. Join us as we explore Heathrow's evolving strategies for growth in this intriguing development!

Do you think Heathrow can grow without a new runway?

[@Sadafkhan-g8l]

Yes

[@rrurangi]

I don't know

[@walizazai407]

I live right next to Heathrow I hear planes every 3 min

[@14caz68]

Probably shove it in Norfolk and call it a Tertiary Heathrow London. 😂. I kid you not. !

[@bernardshum2719]

London already got the highest number of runways for a city. Not all flights have to go to Heathrow.

[@LordOfLight]

This is the 1,278,412th time Runaway 3 has been cancelled.

[@eurouc]

Clickbait: the 3rd runway is not cancelled. Getting to it is a challenge but the plans are still very much alive.

[@RoundEarthGang]

£14 billion to build a new runway ? Someone is licking their lips at the thought, £14 billion 😂

[@loud-and-proud-patriot]

It includes buying land, bulldozing housing etc

[@IXSEVEN9]

This is not true and Heathrow has denied this report. The ideas mentioned do seem to be under consideration, but they would never categorically deny their only real way of expanding meaningfully

[@ciaranReal]

Our country is a joke, we dont even own our own airport 🇬🇧

[@carkawalakhatulistiwa]

Sell all to other country 😂

[@loud-and-proud-patriot]

As someone who lives by Heathrow I want them to just get on with building it

[@josephthompson1318]

Bigger planes

[@harrywg1114]

£14 billion to build???

[@alexanderu4208]

I think it’s because they need to remove entire neighbourhoods and replace them elsewhere.

[@nonameunfortunately]

or they could just build a new airport
