Campaigners Lose Appeal Against Gatwick Airport Expansion
Judges dismiss efforts to halt Gatwick Airport's plan for a two-runway operation, labeling the appeal as unarguable.
On August 4, 2026, campaigners opposing the expansion of Gatwick Airport were denied an appeal seeking to stop the airport's plan to operate two runways. Judges reviewing the case called the appeal "unarguable," effectively allowing Gatwick's proposed two-runway operation to proceed as planned. The decision came after legal challenges aimed at preventing the airport's expansion were reviewed and dismissed.
