Heathrow Submits Plans For Proposed New Runway
Three options for a third runway at Heathrow have been revealed, with the airport saying each plan would be "quicker and cheaper" than a rival airport hub.
A submission to the Davis Committee shows three proposed runways, one to the north, one north-west and a third to the south-west.
While the airport claim that no more people would be affected by noise than currently are, environmentalists however have criticised the proposed expansion.
