Johnson backs estuary airport plan

Johnson backs estuary airport plan

London Mayor Boris Johnson said a new airport in the Thames Estuary would increase the UK's "international competitiveness" as he claimed ministers were starting to warm to the idea.

Architect Lord Foster has drawn up plans for a £50 billion hub which would be situated on the Isle of Grain in Kent, an option which Johnson has expressed his support for publicly.

After the prospect of a third runway at Heathrow was ruled out, the proposal is expected to be part of a consultation on UK aviation this spring - which hopes to increase holiday and business travel into the country.

Johnson told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I think that where we are is that the Government is increasingly interested in this idea.

"I genuinely believe that they see not just the overwhelming aviation argument and the argument from international competitiveness in making sure that Britain has a hub airport that is viable for the long-term future."

A Department for Transport spokesman said: "No decisions have been taken. As the Chancellor made clear in his autumn statement, we will explore all the options for maintaining the UK's aviation hub status with the exception of a third runway at Heathrow."
