The “master plan” for today the biggest airport in Europe saw an increase in flights per year 480’000 to 750’000, and the number of passengers from 81 million to 142 million.

organizations such as Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and Plan B had referred to “the absurd” in view of the fact that Boris Johnson’s government just to “zero emissions by 2050” have obliged.
