Details

This white paper sets out a strategic framework to improve airport capacity in the United Kingdom over the next 30 years.

It sets out policies which will guide decisions on future planning applications and against which public bodies, airport operators and airlines can plan ahead. It also outlines our conclusions, and the conclusions of devolved administrations where appropriate, on the case for expansion at airports across the country.
