Heathrow third runway developer decision due in weeks

A decision on the developer for Heathrow's third runway is expected by the end of November, with bids from Heathrow Airport and the Arora Group under scrutiny. Heathrow's £49bn plan includes a new road tunnel and widening the M25, while the Arora Group's £25bn proposal features a shorter runway and no M25 alterations. The decision must meet economic, air quality, noise, and climate change standards, with the chosen plan aiming to be up and running by 2029.
