Heathrow Third Runway back on the agenda

Heathrow Airport Third Runway is officially back on the agenda. The CEO of Heathrow Airport, Thomas Woldbye, has urged Keir Starmer and the government to back plans for a third runway. Thomas Woldbye warned that without backing from Downing Street, the airport would not be able to push ahead with plans to expand.

Speaking at the Airlines 2024 conference in November 2024 Thomas Woldbye also claimed that talks had gained positive momentum, revealing he hopes to have won government support by the end of 2025. So this is real. Stanwell Moor Residents Association will be closely monitoring the situation and maintain discussions with the airport to understand the full impact on the village and ensuring the needs of the village is paramount in its mind.

The airport is pitching the project as part of the government’s own infrastructure plans.
