The Arora Group is proud to present a transformative vision for the expansion of Heathrow Airport. Our proposal is more than just a new runway; it's a blueprint for a smarter, more efficient, and passenger focused global hub that will benefit the UK for generations to come.
We believe in a better Heathrow for passengers, airlines, local communities, and the nation. Our plan is privately financed, deliverable, and designed to meet the UK's future aviation needs while minimising costs and environmental impact.
Our proposal offers significant advantages over the current expansion plans:
By avoiding the need to build over the M25, we significantly reduce engineering complexity, construction risk, and overall cost.
A simplified construction process allows for the earlier delivery of both the new runway and terminal capacity.
Our plan requires less land and causes less disruption to local residents and businesses.
Introducing a new delivery partner to Heathrow will foster innovation and cost discipline, ultimately benefiting airlines and passengers.
An integrated Public Transport Hub will support environmentally friendly travel to and from the airport.
We are committed to a constructive, collaborative approach with local communities to support environmental improvements.
Drawing on our core strengths in hospitality and customer service, the Arora Group's vision puts the passenger first. We aim to create a world class terminal at Heathrow that offers real choice, greater efficiency, and improved service. Our "Outside In" design philosophy ensures the terminal connects seamlessly to the wider Heathrow campus, creating a smooth and enjoyable journey for all travellers.
Our proposal features a new 2,800m Northwest Runway and a state-of-the-art Terminal 6, strategically located to create a highly efficient and integrated "West Terminal Campus" with the existing Terminal 5. This innovative design offers several key benefits:
A 2,800m runway is sufficient to accommodate 97.8% of take-offs and all landings, with the two existing longer runways available for the small number of flights that require them. This avoids the need for a costly and disruptive M25 crossing.
A new Terminal 6, located west of Terminal 5, will create a single, purpose-built hub that minimises land take and preserves Green Belt land. This integrated approach streamlines transfers and enhances airline connectivity.
By centralising functions between T5 and T6, we can reduce complexity, streamline processes, and ensure optimal use of space and resources, avoiding unnecessary land take and costly infrastructure duplication.
The Arora Group's vision for Heathrow is rooted in a responsibility to create a positive legacy for the UK, the region, and the local community. Our proposal not only delivers additional capacity but also responds to local needs and environmental considerations.
Our plan includes a new Public Transport Hub designed to reduce reliance on private cars by promoting seamless access to rail and bus services. This supports the government's objective to shift more airport journeys to environmentally sustainable modes of transport.
Our vision for Heathrow's expansion includes a significant focus to benefit both the environment and local communities. We plan to create a natural buffer, primarily to the west of the airport, that will help reduce the impact of airport operations. This includes a new Western Green Corridor with pedestrian and cycle paths along the River Colne and a new Pippins Park that will be three times larger than the existing one, complete with upgraded recreational facilities.
The plan is designed to be a comprehensive solution for long-term environmental sustainability. Beyond creating new parks and pathways, our proposal includes noise attenuation bunds and a commitment to preserving and enhancing Green Belt land. By developing accessible and sustainable spaces, including new cycle and pedestrian loops that connect villages to the airport and green spaces, we aim to improve the quality of life for residents while mitigating environmental impacts like noise pollution and air quality.
