HEATHROW CHIEF URGES BURNHAM TO DECIDE ON THIRD RUNWAY

Heathrow's chief executive has told investors the case for a third runway is "settled" and urged Andy Burnham to make a decision by the end of the year, saying the airport "cannot wait forever". The warning was issued as Heathrow continues to press for approval of the expansion plan.

Burnham has not yet confirmed a timeline for a decision. The airport's management has repeated calls for clarity on the runway proposal.
