Heathrow Airport: Job Creation

Asked by Nesil CaliskanLabourTreasuryTabled Answered 11 February 2025UIN 28211

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has made an estimate of the number of additional jobs created by Heathrow expansion.

Answered by Darren Jones

Heathrow expansion could result in billions invested into the economy to create over 100,000 jobs, and support many more jobs by boosting UK economic growth.

Our pledge to use more sustainable aviation fuel, part of our Plan for Change, will also support thousands of jobs, bring down our transport emissions, and make the UK a clean energy superpower.
