U.K. Government Backs Third Runway at Heathrow Airport

(London, AP) – U.K. Treasury Chief Rachel Reeves announced the government's support for constructing a third runway at London's Heathrow Airport. In a speech, Reeves emphasized that the new runway at the country's primary airport would enhance long-term economic growth.
