We’ve developed updated proposals for Heathrow expansion, building on years of technical work, environmental assessments and consultation.
From 27 October to 22 December 2026, we’re inviting local communities, businesses, passengers, colleagues and other stakeholders to have their say.
You can explore our proposals, view the consultation documents and interactive maps, and find details of our in-person and online events.
Your feedback will help us refine our plans before we submit our application to the government.
Explore our consultation materials, including key documents, local area information, property policies and detailed reports on the potential impacts of Heathrow expansion. You can also find our feedback form and supporting information to help you understand the proposals and have your say.
The Consultation Document and the Consultation Summary Document provide a non-technical overview of our proposals for Heathrow expansion. The Feedback Form can be used to share your views.
This document explains our latest proposals for Heathrow expansion and the feedback we are seeking from you as part of the 2026 Public Consultation.

How people travel to and from Heathrow by road, rail and other forms of transport today and how this could change in the future.
Our early plans to manage transport during construction.
How Heathrow expansion could affect greener ways to travel to, from and around Heathrow.
How Heathrow expansion could affect road travel.
Our plans to manage travel to and from an expanded Heathrow.
The introduction of a third runway at Heathrow would provide greater flexibility in the way we operate. Our Future Runway Operations Document sets out how we would use this additional flexibility to improve resilience, manage delays more effectively and provide more predictable periods of respite from aircraft noise for local communities.
This document explains how we would operate Heathrow as a three-runway airport to provide predictable periods of respite from aircraft noise, manage night flights and apply other operational measures to help reduce and mitigate noise impacts.
Expansion at Heathrow would provide increased education and employment opportunities, improved transport links and investment in the local supply chain. Our Economic Development Framework sets out how we would help ensure opportunities are accessible to local communities and businesses, alongside wider benefits to the UK economy.
