Runways report chairman: It's a reasonable solution

The Airports Commission has backed a third Heathrow runway, saying it will add £147bn in economic growth and 70,000 jobs by 2050.

The chairman of the independent commission, Sir Howard Davies, told the BBC that the three proposals they had examined were all "credible" but there was a "clear and unanimous" recommendation that the Heathrow option was the best one.
