Heathrow 'would need to close' under airport plans

[mhm]

If the government decides to expand Stansted or build a new estuary airport to form the UK's major air hub Heathrow Airport will need to close, a transport think tank has said.

The Independent Transport Commission said a major capacity airport is needed to compete with European rivals.

It said Heathrow would have to close to give investors confidence that airlines would move their business.

Its report will be submitted to the government's Airports Commission
