Heathrow Airport Limited is privately owned and has committed to meet the costs of developing and implementing the Northwest Runway scheme.

Heathrow Airport Limited has also committed to meet the costs of any surface access proposals that are essential to deliver airport expansion including works on the M25, the A4 and the A3044.

Where proposed surface access projects have wider beneficiaries, such as the Western Rail and Southern Rail proposals, the Government will consider funding a proportion based on benefits for airport users and other beneficiaries in line with our Aviation Policy Framework.
