The UK Government has just confirmed that Heathrow has been chosen as the site for a third runway expansion.

Commenting, the Leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies said:

“Now more than ever Wales and Britain need to be globally facing, and the expansion of Heathrow Airport would be a major boost for trade and tourism.

“As such, we welcome the committee’s approval for a third runway, which will serve to help the economy grow while creating thousands of jobs and apprenticeships across the country, and secure a lasting legacy for the entrepreneurs and innovators of Wales’ future.

“Today’s decision sends a clear message that Wales and Britain are open for business and that we welcome closer ties with countries around the world.”
