Third Heathrow runway should only go ahead if airlines pay for cleaner flying, say advisers
World2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported11m ago
The government's climate advisers have stated that a third runway at Heathrow Airport should only proceed if the aviation industry pays for the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to clean up its emissions.
According to the Climate Change Committee, current climate policies do not permit the approval of the airport expansion unless the aviation sector covers the costs associated with achieving cleaner flying and mitigating its environmental impact.
