A legal challenge has been initiated against Gatwick Airport's expansion, which aims to convert a backup runway to increase flight capacity and support economic growth. Campaigners from Communities Against Gatwick Noise Emissions (CAGNE) argue that the plan fails to adequately address climate concerns, despite government assurances of alignment with net-zero objectives through sustainable aviation fuel. The outcome of the legal proceedings remains uncertain as the project seeks to accommodate millions more passengers by the 2030s, potentially creating 14,000 jobs.
