Heathrow Airport is set to unveil a major investment plan aimed at boosting capacity and improving infrastructure while preparing a proposal for a long-debated third runway.

Key Highlights:

Investment & Expansion: A privately-funded, multibillion-pound project will enhance Terminals 2 and 5 and reconfigure the airfield for better efficiency and punctuality.
Third Runway Proposal: Heathrow aims to submit a formal proposal by summer 2025, but completion could take decades.
Economic Boost: CEO Thomas Woldbye says the expansion will support UK economic growth and increase passenger numbers.
Industry Criticism: Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary slammed Heathrow as "operationally inefficient," vowing the airline will never operate from the airport.

As air travel demand grows, Heathrow’s expansion could shape the future of UK aviation—but challenges remain, from environmental concerns to industry scepticism.
