The new runways are part of the British government’s 30 year air travel plan.The Stansted runway would be ready by 2011 with Heathrow to get a third runway by 2020 if it meets a range of environmental and noise rules. Work on Stansted's new runway will start "as soon as possible" under the plan, although that is not likely to be until 2011 or 2012. There will be only one runway, not the two or three previously proposed, but that would cater for an extra 46 million passengers a year, says the government. Ministers say noise limits will be enforced but the new runway will not mean the EU pollution limits are broken.
