The Department for Transport says the expansion will bring more jobs and greater economic growth along with more flights: “A new runway at Heathrow would provide benefits of up to £74bn to passengers and the wider economy and create tens of thousands of local jobs. Chris Grayling, a keen Brexiteer as well as transport secretary, says: “As we leave the EU, the UK must remain one of the world’s best-connected and outward-looking countries and a third runway at Heathrow is the best option to deliver this.” Wasn’t this all decided years ago? On the day Sir Howard Davies reported, Willie Walsh, chief executive of British Airways’ parent IAG, said: “Without political vision and leadership, it will end up on the shelf gathering dust like its predecessors.” Since then the government has been conducting its own research and consultations on expansion, while the legislative process has been caught up in the current parliamentary turmoil. The Department for Transport says: “The benefits of expanding Heathrow will be felt across the country as there will be more flights around the UK, better connecting Scotland, Northern Ireland, the North and the Southwest to new global markets via London.” But Willie Walsh of IAG told an airports conference in 2016: “We’re not interested in these artificial routes.
