Ministers and officials have met regularly with Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL) since 2 February 2017 to discuss a wide range of issues relating to the operation of the UK’s largest airport, as well as the potential delivery of its expansion. When Ministers and officials meet with HAL to discuss expansion, these meetings are governed by propriety arrangements set out in the Statement of Approach, which is published online:

The Government launched a public consultation on the draft Airports NPS on 2 February 2017. This initial consultation closed on 25 May, and a further consultation on the revised draft Airports NPS was launched on 24 October 2017, closing on 19 December. A TSC report on the content of the Airports NPS was subsequently published on 23 March 2018.

The Government is now in the process of considering the responses to both consultations as well as the TSC’s recommendations contained within their final report.
