Heathrow Airport has warned that its planned third runway could be delayed by as much as four years, according to the BBC.
The UK's busiest airport cautioned it may miss the government's target of 2035 for the project's completion, the report said.
Ministers responded by acknowledging that the 2035 deadline had 'always been ambitious', according to the BBC, without committing to a revised timeline in the reporting available.
The BBC report does not detail the specific factors Heathrow cited as driving the potential delay, such as planning, funding or construction challenges.
The third runway project has faced years of political, legal and environmental debate before reaching its current planning stage, a context the BBC report references.
