In response to the UK government’s support for expansion at Heathrow, Thomas Woldbye, CEO of Heathrow, has announced the largest private investment program in Heathrow’s history and confirmed the airport is developing proposals for a third runway to share with the government by the summer of 2025.

The latest plans will include new investment in terminal infrastructure, improving customer experience and punctuality, local transportation connections and sustainability. Heathrow will work with airlines and the regulator to finalize plans to invest in the capacity of Terminal 2 and make changes to optimize and increase passenger capacity in Terminal 5. The airport will also reconfigure and improve the layout of the airfield, increasing the number of aircraft stands to improve resilience and punctuality.

The investment program also includes plans to further improve bus and coach connections to encourage sustainable and active travel options and benefit local communities and stated that new infrastructure will have improved environmental credentials and will use more sustainable sources of power, supporting the ambitious targets set out in Heathrow’s Connecting People and Planet sustainability strategy.
