ADDITIONAL runways could be built at Heathrow, Stansted,
Birmingham, East Midlands, Edinburgh or Glasgow airports under plans put
forward by the Government.
The proposals aim to
meet a massive increase in demand for flights over the next 30 years.
The Government estimates the UK may need the capacity to
handle 500 million passengers a year, up from 180 million, by 2030.
To meet this demand, a new runway could be built at
Heathrow, three more at Stansted and whole new airport built in Kent.
