文字稿
The British government has given the green light to the construction of a third runway at Heathrow. This will pave the way for hundreds of thousands more flights a year at the airport in west London. It’s in a key position between America, Europe and the Far East but has lost its status as the world’s largest hub airport to Dubai.
