Campaigners Denied Appeal Over Gatwick Expansion The Court of Appeal has rejected campaigners' bid to challenge the government's approval for a two runway operation at Gatwick Airport.
This decision is seen as a victory for the aviation industry and local economic interests, but it comes with significant concerns about climate impact.
Gatwick Airport's chief executive, Pierre Hugues Schmit, hailed the decision as "a major milestone," claiming it would bring 14,000 new jobs and a £1 billion boost to the economy every year.
