As the UK’s hub airport, Heathrow has an important role to play in helping the country’s economy to thrive – our expansion will create up to £211bn in growth and up to 180,000 jobs across the UK.
With the rise of emerging markets, connecting the UK to the world and the world to the UK is more important than ever. Through expansion, we will serve up to 120 direct long haul destinations, making the UK the best-connected nation in the world. We will help people around the UK access these flights by supporting connections to Heathrow from the rest of the country, with a focus on reliable, low-carbon choices.
To step up to the challenge of a resilient and sustainable UK, it makes good sense to support the right kind of business growth. The sustainable economy is an exciting, creative, innovative and forward-looking space – and it’s growing fast, nationally and globally. Our Heathrow 2.0 strategy proactively supports the ‘next economy’, growing SMEs and social enterprises, driving change through our supply chain and encouraging all those who service the airport to become more sustainable too.
Heathrow 2.0, Heathrow’s sustainability leadership plan, has recently celebrated the anniversary of its launch. Read the full report on progress against the plan in the first year, here.

Our world is a joy to travel. But we must do more to protect it if we want to keep enjoying all it has to offer. First and foremost, we have to address carbon; air travel is a growing contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions and therefore to climate change.
As demand for flights grows, we must innovate and collaborate to find solutions to some of the problems our industry faces. As well as protecting our environment, Heathrow also has a responsibility to strive to end human and wildlife trafficking. To rise to the challenge of climate change, Heathrow has set an ambitious aspiration: carbon neutral growth from our new runway. We’ve also set objectives to operate a zero-carbon airport and strive to end people and wildlife trafficking.
Heathrow 2.0 outlines how we plan to fulfil these goals and, wherever possible, drive similar progress across our industry.
