This article is an edited spin-off from the main Heathrow article:
This seems to be a good opportunity to split the article. Mitchelltd ( talk) 20:54, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Probably completely wrong place to put this - the article says that the National Trust has 3.5 members. It made me giggle but its probably supposed to be 3.5m? - Jo 86.14.225.224 ( talk) 21:07, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
This article is heavily biased towards the anti-expansion viewpoint. It needs to be brought into line with Wikipedia's NPOV policy. I would do this myself, but have no time right now at work... just wanted to flag it up. EuroSong talk 20:18, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
I think this article would be better if it included more information about the expansion plans, and had less focus on arguments and alternatives. -- Boivie ( talk) 12:57, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
That comment in itself is biased ;-) Yeah some incredibly heavy anti-expansionist bias, but I'm not surprised because that's all that was represented in the media. People never heard for example that most of the residents of the local communities were actually in favour (a few opposing votes in Sipson,Hayes etc. not withstanding)mainly because the 'far away' opposition to it was so incredibly vocal - It always irritated me that you only got one or two old biddies in Sipson on the news and then everyone from Wandsworth and even further afield putting in their two cents as if they lived here; when ordinarily they'd only visit to fly anyway. 86.180.88.162 ( talk) 23:35, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
The thought of climate change as a result of human induced factors, such as the construction/expansion of airports such as Heathrow is extremely controversial. There is very little evidence to suggest that humans have increased global average temperatures, but huge amounts of evidence to show that climate change is only a natural phenonemon. The study of Ice Age periods show that after an almost instantaneous finish to the ice age (in geological terms) we are coming out of an ice age, with natural retreats of ice caps and increase in temperatures. Humans may be speeding up this cause, but only on a minute scale. And as previously stated in the article, the heathrow expansion page is heavily bias, and maybe the global warming effects section should be revised so that it shows that if Heathrow doesnt expand, Frankfurt, CDG and Schiphol will instead, resulting in no "environmental" gain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.74.243.223 ( talk) 13:39, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
However, I am a staunch supporter of the expansion and I believe that the environmentalists have got it completely wrong. I am actually going to write a letter giving my arguments for the expansion to news corporations, political parties and environmental campaign groups.
Thanks, -- Plane Person ( talk) 12:01, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
Why is it called the Third runway? Heathrow currently has four runways - 27L, 27R, 09L, 09R. In the 1960s it had no less than twelve - ye, twelve runways. Mjroots ( talk) 13:47, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
This article has just one line on the actual subject matter, the current plans for expansion of LHR. This article is more suited to a newspaper than an encyclopaedia. Can an expert on the subject please expand the encyclopaedic information. Thanks! -- AD talk 14:33, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
A few months ago I posted my concerns on the bias towards halting the expansion in the article and it seems that my remarks have been deleted while the people who have posted things to back up the halt to expansion have their posts remain; sort of proves my point doesn't it. This is an encyclopedia, not a political debate in which the side which shouts the loudest wins.
My hope was that this bias could be corrected but unfortunately it seems to have gone the other way with the intorduction of the "Advocations" sections in which the wording is very bias towards halting the expansion while skipping over the illegal activities of the activists in the opposing Advocations section.
So please, for those of you who do read this before someone deems it "unsuitable" for a shouting match, help make this balanced and not one sided (and that includes my side, I don't want the page bias towards building the runway, I just want fairness and equality between the two sides of the argument). -- Plane Person ( talk) 12:06, 1 May 2010 (UTC).
Flying Matters may be a pressure group but it doesn't take away from the fact that the actual £30 billion figure is from the BCC which is a very reliable source. The page on Flying Matters site gives links to reports by the BBC and the Telegraph which both confirm the report. I also have the reference directly from the BCC website which I will use instead if thats ok.
While we are on this point, if no pressure group or protest group references are allowed then what about references 26, 60, 64 and 68? Just wondering what the policy is on this but thought that it is a bit unfair. Anyway, back to the original discussion, if it's alright with Cameron Scott, then I'll put up the report directly from the British Chambers of Commerce. Sorry for any problems, just didn't know pressure groups were not allowed as sources. Thanks again and best regards, -- Plane Person ( talk) 18:54, 1 June 2010 (UTC).
I've never looked at those references - there are only so many hours in the day, so I only deal with things that come to my attention after I watchlist an article. I'm a weeder rather than a complete landscape gardener! -- Cameron Scott ( talk) 12:32, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Is the PDF map appropriate for this section? To me it seems very WP:POV and potentially unnecessary as the Google overlay is linked to and contains the same relevant information, but impartially. -- Wintonian ( talk) 13:59, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
"Eliminate hidden subsidies to flying by bringing the taxation of flying in line with other forms of transport."
the absence of a tax is not a subsidy. suggest deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.183.49.52 ( talk) 08:14, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
This article is seriously out of date. It stops in 2010, saying the expansion of Heathrow was 'cancelled' then, but that isn't really true - it's only been put on hold for the time being. Most obviously, this article makes no mention of the Airports Commission under Sir Howard Davies, which is due to report soon and likely to recommend further expansion of Heathrow. If it does, then it'll definitely be time for an update here. Robofish ( talk) 15:58, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

There are currently two proposals being considered by the Government to expand Heathrow Airport, of which the independent proposal by Heathrow Hub to extend the northern runway into two separate runways is one, Heathrow Airport's Third Runway being the other. As a representative of Heathrow Hub, I would like to propose that the below paragraph is added to the "Plans" section so that both current proposals for expansion of Heathrow Airport are represented on this page. I have ensured that all information included is properly referenced to either verifiable news sources or government-website documents.
Finally, given the above, I would also like to propose the very first sentence on this page be amended to reflect Heathrow Hub's proposal - i.e. "The expansion of Heathrow Airport has involved several proposals by Heathrow Airport Holdings in addition to an independent proposal by Heathrow Hub to increase capacity at Heathrow Airport."
Extended Northern Runway
Separate to Heathrow Airport’s proposal for a North-west runway is the independent proposal by Heathrow Hub to extend Heathrow’s existing northern runway to at least 6,800m, with a 640m safety zone in the middle, enabling the runway to be operated as two runways. [1] The proposal, led by Captain William ‘Jock’ Lowe, Concorde’s longest serving pilot, is currently being considered by the UK Government after it was shortlisted as one of the final three proposals by the Airports Commission in its interim report in December 2013. [2] The Commission estimates the cost of extending the northern runway to be around £13.5 billion, higher than Heathrow Hub's own estimate of £10.1 billion, but roughly £3bn cheaper than the cost estimated to implement a third North-west runway. [3] The Commission also stated that Heathrow Hub’s extended Northern Runway would require the loss of only 242 homes compared to 783 for the Northwest Runway option, and its impacts on community facilities such as schools and health centres would also be much more limited.

Can it be mentioned in the article why it would be so expensive to build a 3rd runway and a terminal? Do anyone know? It would according to the article cost £18.6 billion for a 2,200 m (7,218 ft) long runway with taxiway and a terminal with parking etc. To compare, a new airport is being built in Mo i Rana, Norway with 2400 m runway for £180 million, ok smaller terminal and cheaper land purchase, but can it cost £15 billion to purchase a 2200 x 200 meter (0.5 km²) area ? In that case the land value of Greater London with 1,569 km² would be £45 trillion, and a private house with a small garden would cost £30m just in land purchase.-- BIL ( talk) 17:11, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
