LONDON's Heathrow airport has been selected as the best option for a new runway in southeast England by a state-appointed commission, leaving a final decision on the controversial expansion with British Prime Minister David Cameron.
A third Heathrow landing strip northwest of the two existing ones "presents the strongest case and offers the greatest strategic and economic benefits", the Airports Commission said on Wednesday. Alternative plans to extend one of Heathrow's runways or add one at Gatwick, south of the capital, are "credible" but have weaknesses, the report said.
