Airports across the UK could be expanded, including the controversial third runway at Heathrow, under government growth plans.
The Treasury is looking at whether to support a third runway at Heathrow, approve a second runway at Gatwick, and increase capacity at Luton airport, although a government spokesperson said it does “not comment on speculation”.
The new Labour government has made economic growth a key part of its messaging, with Chancellor Rachel Reeves pledging to go “further and faster”.
Reeves could make an announcement on airports next week in a speech, the BBC understands.
