Answer
On 14 December 2015, the Government formally announced that it accepted the Airports Commission’s case for new runway capacity in the South East, as well as the Commission’s three shortlisted schemes - namely additional runways at Gatwick or Heathrow, or an extension to the existing northern runway at Heathrow.
