✈️ The business case for Heathrow expansion is about what it can deliver for the UK – and we have a proven track record of delivering major infrastructure. We delivered Terminal 2 and Terminal 5 on time and on budget. And we’re continuing to invest in Heathrow’s future. This year, we’re investing £1.3bn in capital programmes, alongside £33bn of private investment planned for expansion. Expansion has the potential to create at least 17,500 construction jobs at its peak and add up to £17bn a year to the UK economy. 🏗️ It’s about putting our experience to work again – delivering the infrastructure that can strengthen connectivity, unlock growth and create opportunities across the UK. As Helen Elsby, Heathrow's Chief Development Officer, says: "The business case [for expansion] is that it's great for the country, it's great for airlines, it's great for consumers and passengers, and it's good for Heathrow."

🎥 What could Heathrow expansion mean for British steelmaking? Last week, @HeathrowAirport and 7 Steel UK signed a Memorandum of Understanding in Cardiff, reaffirming our commitment to procuring domestically and providing greater confidence to invest in UK steelmaking. With expansion potentially requiring up to 400,000 tonnes of #steel, the opportunity could support reindustrialisation and skilled jobs in steelmaking communities across the country – including South Wales, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and the North East. Hear from Thomas Woldbye, Carles Rovira, Jon Harrison, Liz Maher OBE and Paul McKenna on why this matters, as we marked the signing alongside @CommunityUnion, @cw_seswm, #Cardiff City Council and @UKSteel__.

Economic growth for the UK and net zero aren't competing ambitions. Heathrow expansion has to deliver both. That means a third runway can only proceed if Heathrow meets the environmental requirements set through the planning process on carbon. But we're not waiting for expansion to act: our #SAF incentive cut more than 600,000 tonnes of carbon in 2025 and we are aiming for up to 5.6% of fuel used at Heathrow in 2026 to be SAF. @HeathrowAirport CEO Thomas Woldbye confirmed to MPs today at the Transport Select Committee that “SAF is a proven technology… it works. We need much more of it.” SAF is one of the industry’s decarbonisation levers, alongside more efficient aircraft & airspace, and greenhouse gas removals. With the right policies and partnership between Government and industry, we can accelerate aviation's decarbonisation while protecting the economic and social benefits that connectivity brings to the UK.

From Scottish salmon reaching customers worldwide to businesses winning contracts across the country, Heathrow already helps connect UK communities to global opportunity. Today, nearly £300 million of Scottish salmon exports by value travel through Heathrow, while our supply chain supports more than 1,100 British businesses through £2.3 billion of annual UK spend. Expansion could build on that foundation with £33 billion of private investment, strengthening trade, tourism, jobs and investment across the UK, without relying on taxpayers. Around 60% of the projected economic benefits are expected to be felt outside London and the South East. This isn't just about Heathrow. It's about helping more communities, businesses and regions connect to growth opportunities around the world.
