Heathrow given clearance for third runway

Britain's Supreme Court has approved Heathrow Airport's plan to expand with a third runway.

Britain’s top court has given the go-ahead to the expansion of London’s Heathrow Airport, allowing the £14bn (€15.4bn) plan to proceed after decades of legal battles and political wrangling.

The UK’s Supreme Court ruling overturned a previous court decision that had blocked the plan on environmental grounds.
