Philip Jansen Opens Talks to Resolve Heathrow Third Runway Dispute

Heathrow's new chair Philip Jansen has opened talks with airlines and billionaire landowner Surinder Arora to resolve a dispute threatening the £49bn third runway plan. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, alongside Arora's £25bn rival proposal, want costs capped at £30bn. The government backs expansion with runway operational by 2035, while China's 10% stake holder considers exiting over cost concerns.
