There is currently no live application for a third runway at Heathrow. It is for Heathrow Airport Limited to decide how it takes forward any Development Consent Order application for a third runway.

The Government would carefully consider any Development Consent Order application for a third runway at Heathrow Airport in line with the relevant planning process.
