摘要

Like so many of the flights that leave Heathrow, the government's decision on whether to allow the airport to have a third runway is running late, baa, the airport's operator, had expected to get the green light in July. The announcement is now promised before the end of the year. The prime minister prides himself on his ability to take "tough, long-term decisions", but a rising number of Labour mps and several senior ministers think he is in danger of taking the wrong one on this issue.rnThe arguments for and against expanding Heathrow have polarised opinion ever since the government declared in its 2003 aviation white paper that giving the overcrowded old airport another runway was its preferred way of meeting the expected growth in passenger numbers. Some ministers were nervous about antagonising both climate-change pressure groups and the long-suffering residents of west London who bear the brunt of the aircraft noise and air pollution that Heathrow generates. But skilful lobbying by baa and British Airways (ba), two formerly state-owned companies with close links to government, appeared to have settled the issue in late 2006. A bigger Heathrow that could compete for international transfer passengers with rivalrnhub airports on the continent was deemed a national economic necessity.
