As Heathrow Airport escalates their advertising campaign in the run up to the Airports Commission’s decision on runway expansion, it was revealed that Heathrow has spent £1.7m on their runway expansion advertising campaigns across the London transport network. This information was received in a written answer received by London Assembly Member Darren Johnson to a question submitted to the Mayor of London.
Darren Johnson said:
“I’m not surprised that Heathrow has spent almost two million on ads on buses, tubes and trains. The grim reality of aviation expansion will be more noise, pollution and traffic hell for Londoners. As well as the acceleration of climate change which is the biggest threat to our economy. You need a big budget to paper over those huge cracks in your argument.”
