Heathrow AirportPassengers flying from Heathrow and other airports in south-east England face extra taxes under Government proposals to deter people from using London's crowded terminals.

Under plans to reduce congestion at south-east airports, hundreds of domestic and European flights will also be stripped out of London Heathrow with Birmingham Airport used as a London overspill airport. Ministers say the building of the high speed rail link will dramatically alter the airport map of Britain, putting Birmingham airport 32 minutes from Heathrow.

Around 80 per cent of all UK flights take off from Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted, and Heathrow is the world’s busiest airport.
