London is Europe’s busiest city for air travel. But after experiencing Europe’s worst summer on record and amid growing concern about climate change, more Brits are calling for increased rail connections abroad, not more flights. See the poll results ➡️ bit.ly/4yhnHrh

Heathrow is owned by overseas investors including sovereign wealth funds from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China, and Singapore. That means decisions about a major piece of UK infrastructure are driven by global finance and not in the UK public interest. #Infrastructure #WhoOwnsHeathrow #No3rdRunway
Heathrow expansion means more planes and more noise. New flight paths are going to impose noise pollution on hundreds of thousands of people and most don't know it yet. It could be you.... #HeathrowExpansion #AircraftNoise #PublicHealth #NoThirdRunway
So-called Sustainable Aviation Fuel is a con. It's impossible to make enough of it, especially at prices airlines can afford, without using land that could be growing food crops. And here's an example. @no3rdrunway.bsky.social - as usual, disadvantaged people end up suffering.
POLITICO Europe@politico.eu · 6mo agoIn 2022, Italian oil company Eni approached Kenyan farmers with a pitch: plant castor, and we’ll buy the crop to turn into green fuel. But an investigation by POLITICO and @source-material.org found many smallholders were left with no pay — and no food. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/seed...

Heathrow already carries £17.6bn in debt, and expansion means stacking billions more risk onto an overstretched balance sheet. Expansion isn’t “investment” — it’s a balance-sheet gamble with passengers footing the bill. #NoThirdRunway
And while we are on the subject of #airport expansion, it turns out that expanding #Heathrow would be bad for growth and jobs in the UK's regions, whilst further increasing the pressure on London's already creaking infrastructure. A lose-lose scenario! #NoThirdRunway #Don'tGrowHeathrow
@no3rdrunway.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe numbers don’t lie. A third runway at Heathrow would hurt our regions, not help them. The DfT predicts growth at non-London airports will be 17% lower by 2050 if Heathrow expands. Britain deserves balanced growth, not London at the expense of everywhere else. #NoThirdRunway
