Heathrow runway expansion could result in £1.3 million car park

Heathrow Airport’s proposed £49 billion expansion, backed by the UK Government, aims to add a third runway and accommodate 150 million passengers annually. This expansion would significantly increase flights from 480,000 to 756,000 per year. However, plans for new multi-storey car parks have sparked controversy, with estimates suggesting costs could exceed £76,000 per parking space. Heathrow insists the expansion is essential for maintaining its status as Europe’s busiest airport.
