A lobby group named Back Heathrow has been accused of spreading misleading information regarding a third runway at Heathrow Airport while receiving funds from the airport. The group sent leaflets claiming that the expansion would result in a greener airport with cleaner aircraft. Criticism has arisen as the group does not clearly disclose its funding origins. Back Heathrow claims to represent over 100,000 residents, yet its financial ties to the airport remain ambiguous. The group is led by Parmjit Dhanda and has significant cash reserves according to its latest accounts.
"We can build a cleaner, greener and smarter airport - using more sustainable aviation fuel, ensuring only the cleanest and quietest aircraft fly here, reduce stacking in our skies and modernise our airspace to cut emissions in flight."
"Back Heathrow describes itself as a local campaign group representing over 100,000 residents, but its newsletter does not disclose that it receives funding from Heathrow Airport."
