BA boss Sean Doyle: Heathrow should be expanded without M25 being moved


Heathrow Airport should be expanded without moving the M25 motorway, the CEO of British Airways Sean Doyle has said.

The government is considering two proposals to expand Heathrow – one from the airport itself and another from the Arora Group, led by hotel tycoon Surinder Arora.

The airport’s owners want to build a full-length 3,500m (2.2-mile) runway, which would involve diverting the M25, while Arora Group is seeking permission for a 2,800m runway, negating the need to move the motorway.

A decision on which developer will build Heathrow’s third runway is due by the end of the month.
