Heathrow’s third runway is a hotly discussed topic for Londoners and commuters alike.

The £49 billion airport expansion, which was backed by the Government last year,  would create at least 30 new daily routes and serve up to 150 million passengers, while the new runway could add 276,000 more flights each year, increasing the number from 480,000 to 756,000 annually, Heathrow said.
