The Scottish government has backed plans for a third runway at Heathrow airport, claiming the move would create 16,000 jobs in Scotland. Commitments on jobs, the possible use of Glasgow Prestwick airport as a logistics hub, and a decrease of £10 per passenger on landing charges for flights between Heathrow and Scotland will be included in a memorandum of understanding to be signed by Heathrow and the Scottish government today. Environmental campaigners dismissed the move as “a disaster for climate change”. There is speculation that the UK government could back Heathrow expansion within weeks.
