Support from politicians, industry, academia and businesses across the UK pour in as Heathrow launches new sustainability strategy, Heathrow 2.0. Plans include a new R&D incubator, an ambition for growth from a new runway to be carbon neutral and at least halving the number of late-running departures to reduce noise for local communities. Virendra Sharma, MP for Ealing Southall: “While no airport is without its environmental impact, Heathrow has gone a long way over recent years to address the concerns around pollution and noise. I am particularly pleased to see that the airport has a clear plan to reduce the number of late-running evening flights which I know will be welcomed across the local community. Heathrow has set itself ambitious goals which I intend to hold them to.”
