LONDON: Campaigners have won a court ruling to block the controversial plans for a third runway at Heathrow Airport on environmental grounds. Thursday's ruling by Britain's Court of Appeal could stall the 14 billion-pound ($18 billion) plan to expand Heathrow Airport amid concerns about climate change, pollution and noise.
Heathrow Airport said it will appeal to the Supreme Court and says it is "confident that we will be successful". The case pits local governments and environmentalists against Heathrow, which plans to build a third runway to meet increasing demand for air travel. Parliament approved the plan in 2018, triggering a challenge from environmental groups.
