NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The expansion of Gatwick Airport has been a long-debated topic, with the proposed second runway aiming to increase the airport's capacity and reduce congestion. The £2.2 billion project was given the green light by Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander in September 2025, but has since faced legal challenges from opponents. The failure of this latest challenge brings the project closer to reality, potentially impacting the airport's operations and the surrounding community.
