Great Western #Railway (GWR) is offering free Standard Class travel to Eastern Airways passengers and staff affected by the airline’s collapse into administration. The support, in place on 28 and 29 October, applies to journeys between Newquay and #London #Gatwick, helping those stranded after Eastern Airways suspended operations earlier this week. Travellers can show an Eastern Airways boarding pass, flight confirmation, or staff ID to GWR station or on-board staff to arrange travel. GWR Operations Director Richard Rowland said the company recognises the difficulties caused by the sudden suspension and is pleased to assist customers and staff in completing their journeys. The move aligns with similar measures from other train operators, coordinated through the Rail Delivery Group.

The government has launched a fast-tracked review of the Airports National Policy Statement (ANPS), aiming to enable a third runway at Heathrow. This process will be three years faster than the 2018 version, with a draft expected by summer 2026. The review will assess proposals against four key tests: climate change, air quality, noise, and economic growth. Two potential schemes remain under consideration from #Heathrow #Airport Ltd and the Arora Group. A final choice will be announced by November. Expansion will be privately funded and may be designated as critical national infrastructure. This move follows approvals at #Gatwick and #Luton, part of a broader plan to grow the economy and improve connectivity. Additional reforms will speed up planning approvals and support greener aviation, including sustainable fuel production and airspace modernisation. Ministers and business leaders say the project will create jobs and boost trade across the #UK.
