UK government seeks financial adviser for Heathrow's £49bn expansion plan

Sky News reports the Department for Transport is procuring an adviser to assess whether Heathrow's third runway expansion can be delivered affordably and how costs and risks would be shared. Heathrow estimates the runway at about £33bn and the total, including associated infrastructure, at £49bn. A government document still cites 2035 for completion, while Sky News says the Sunday Times reported a delay to 2039.
