Aviation duty consultation response

The Department for Transport consultation document on adding capacity at Heathrow says that the consultation “is concerned with the local environmental impacts of future development and operations at Heathrow airport” and that “the global challenge of climate change” is “outside the scope of this consultation”.
The global challenge of climate change should form part of the scope of the consultation for adding capacity at Heathrow. WDM’s response to the consultation therefore focuses on the implications of extra capacity at Heathrow for tackling climate change.
