Airlines should pay for CO2 removal if Heathrow expands, say climate advisers

The Climate Change Committee said that without such measures, expansion would breach carbon budgets and make achieving net zero by 2050 impossible. It said airlines must fund both cleaner fuels and technologies for carbon removal.
