A treia pistă a Aeroportului Heathrow ar putea suferi o întârziere de patru ani

Heathrow Airport has warned that the third runway project may face a four-year delay due to planning and regulatory issues. The UK government aims for the runway to open by 2035, but Heathrow believes this timeline is increasingly difficult without additional planning simplifications. The airport hopes to secure planning permission by 2029 and open the runway within a decade thereafter. The Transport Ministry acknowledged the ambitious timeline and will continue to work closely with all stakeholders. Despite strong opposition from environmental activists, the project is expected to create around 100,000 jobs and significantly boost the economy as part of a broader £49 billion airport modernization plan.
