BRITISH lawmakers should force Heathrow to promise not to raise passenger charges before they give the airport the green light to build a new runway, airline bosses said on Tuesday.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling has said that the government aims to give the formal go-ahead to a new runway at Europe's busiest airport in the first half of 2018 subject to consultation work and securing the backing of Parliament.
