Members of Parliament in the United Kingdom earlier this week said that limited capacity at Heathrow Airport is restricting economic potential. The government wants to revisit the idea building a third runway at Heathrow. Opponents of the idea cite negative environmental impact and limited long-term effect. The proposed runway will be significantly shorter than the two existing ones, so will not be able to accommodate as many types of aircrafts.
