Heathrow celebrates its third runway go-ahead by sending Amsterdam's airport a cake

Yes you read that right

Published 26th Oct 2016

Yesterday Heathrow airport finally got the go-ahead for a third runway which lead to a 'sweet' conversation between Heathrow and Amsterdam's Schiphol airport on Twitter.

Unbeknownst to many of us every time there was a delay to the decision on Heathrow's third runway Schiphol would send them a cake, the last time being in 2015 as they tweeted at the time.

Following the news yesterday Schiphol was quick to congratulate the London airport saying, "Our cake is on its way... AGAIN. ;-)"

To which Heathrow replied with a gif.

A short time later Heathrow then tweeted, "Cake's on the way! Love, Heathrow"

And this morning Schiphol tweeted their thanks with a photo of the delicious cake that had been sent to their offices saying, "Worth every calorie!"

Schiphol has been taking advantage of the delays in Heathrow's expansion as it meant a lot of airport traffic was directed through it to and from London.
