OVERVIEW OF HEATHROW 3RD RUNWAY PLAN
Heathrow airport can also be called as London Heathrow is one of the major international
airport in London. It is the second busiest airport in the world. This airport lies around 14 miles
(22.53 km) west of the Central London. It has two parallel west- east runways including four
operational terminals which covers 12.27 square kilometres. The airport is located west of

runway in the early December 2006. After analysing the report in November 2007, started a

The government's approval for the third runway is being challenged by the council,
resident and environmental charities and the mayor of London. A majority of 296 MPs back out
