A long awaited report about airport expansion in Britain has recommended a third runway be added to the country's largest airport, Heathrow.
The Airports Commission, an independent body, says a new runway at Heathrow would would create around $200 billion US dollars in economic growth and 70 thousand extra jobs by 2050.
The report is highly divisive. Around 800 homes would be destroyed to make way for the new runway and there would be costly changes needed to rail and road links.
Gatwick Airport, also on the fringes of London, is arguing it should be expanded instead of Heathrow.
During Prime Minister's Question Time in Parliament, David Cameron refused to comment on the report but confirmed a decision on airport expansion would come this year.
IN: "Heathrow...
OUT: ....end of the year."
