Expansion at Heathrow could boost every UK nation and region with more supply chain opportunities, connectivity, investment and tourism.
As the UK’s Gateway to Growth, Heathrow is already delivering for the whole country, and we are clear that expansion must bring benefits to every nation and region. The economic benefits from the third runway should be felt from our home in Hillingdon to Hull, Holyhead, Helens Bay and the Highlands.
We already have a track record of investing in businesses across the UK from our supply chain, with more than 1,100 British businesses in our direct supply chain in 2025, of which over 70% are SMEs. Heathrow has signed the UK Steel Charter, committing to support UK industry while we expand.
Increased capacity could deliver more supply chain opportunities, domestic connectivity, inward investment and inbound tourism in every part of the country. Domestic connectivity could also benefit, with the potential to grow the 13 existing UK routes that link Heathrow with the nations and regions.
Loganair fully supports Heathrow’s third runway proposal. As the UK's leading regional airline, we recognise the critical role that Heathrow plays in connecting the regions of the UK to the rest of the world, and we’re proud to play our part in this. The expansion will not only enhance capacity but also improve domestic connectivity, which is vital for economic growth and regional development. A third runway will help to ensure that the UK remains competitive on the global stage, attracting business and visitors alike whilst ensuring domestic routes continue to thrive.
