  • Summary

  • Rachel Reeves has backed a third runway at Heathrow as a key part of her economic growth strategy, saying the expansion of Europe’s busiest airport was “badly needed”. But it will very likely face opposition from environmental campaigners and local residents, which could hold up work on a third runway for years.

    On this episode, Niall Paterson is joined by Sky’s business correspondent, Paul Kelso, and science and technology editor, Tom Clarke, to look at the pros and cons of the airport’s expansion - from how much it would add to the UK economy, to how it squares with the UK’s net zero targets.
