an ability Heathro airport The expansion can be added to a third runway, but much less than the previous proposals.
Hotel Tycoon Surinder Arora has published the scheme that rival a proposal from the owners of the airport.
The Arora Group of the billionaire said that the “primary benefit” of the scheme presented to it Government There is a small new runway that avoids expensive and disruptive requirement to bend M25 Motorway.
The company said that the manufacture of 2,800-meter third runway in the 3,500-meter runway employed by the airport would result in the construction of the “low risk” and “spilling cost” instead of the 3,500-meter runway.
The use of a small runway may have a limit, although the Arora group insisted that it would be able to accommodate the aircraft of all sizes.
The Arora Group’s Heathro West proposal states that the new runway may be completely operational by 2035, while a new terminal will open in two phases in 2036 and 2040.
The plan developed with Infrastructure Company Bechtel is estimated to be less than £ 25 billion, which does not include redevelopment of the current central region of the airport.
Sri Arora, who is one of the biggest landlords of Heathro, said: “After a decade working with our world-agronic design and delivery team, I am very proud that the Arora group can unveil the end at the end. UK The government directly fulfills and supports the primary objective of the United Kingdom to unlock economic growth at the UK’s only hub airport, which has a strong commitment to do the budget and time.
“The Arora Group has a proven track record of distributing on-budget projects including Heathro Airport and at the surrounding time.
“We are happy that the government has taken a general knowledge approach to invite proposals from all interested parties for the first time instead of giving uniqueness to the current airport operator, whether the track record makes any difference.”
Shri Arora has repeatedly accused the airport of wasting money.
In December 2024, French company Ardian completed a deal to become Heathrow’s largest shareholder with a 23% stake, while Saudi Arabia’s sovereign money fund bought 15%.
Chancellor Rahel reeves In a speech on development in January, he supported him for the third runway.
Heathro will present its expansion plan to the government on Thursday.
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander will then review the national policy details of the airports, which provides the basis to take a decision on any development consent order application.
Heathro is considered open to a discussion with the airlines about the construction of a small runway if it can provide similar benefits.
The airport refused to comment on the Arora group’s proposal.
