The scope of the project includes removing and rebuilding London International Airport’s Taxiway Golf, which is aimed at ensuring consistency in the services provided by the airport.

Additionally, rebuilding the taxiway will cut potential runway hazards, which will ultimately boost safety for passengers, airlines and airport staff.

London West Member of Parliament Kate Young said: “I am very pleased that this important project is going ahead. The London International Airport is a strategic economic gateway and ensuring that we address transportation bottlenecks and develop strategies to minimise congestion is vital to fostering long-term prosperity in our community.

“This investment underscores the importance of our airport to the continuing prosperity of our region and country.”
