LONDON, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) The UK Supreme Court on Wednesday gave the green light to plans for a third runway at London Heathrow airport, overturning an earlier judgment in February.
The new ruling clears the way for the runway to go ahead in a huge boost for the beleaguered aviation industry, so the firms behind Heathrow can now seek planning permission for the runway, which still faces huge controversy from environmental organizations.
Britain s Court of Appeal blocked this multi-billion-dollar plan in February, citing the British government s failure to adequately take into account climate change commitments.
