Ah, greenwash at its finest. I'm sure reducing the number of
vehicles going to and from the airport will really make up for the
extra emissions from the aircraft using the new runway such as the
A380 which burns half a ton of fuel just to get from the gate to
take off position.


What we really need here is fuel per passenger.


I believe the fuel costs about £1 per passenger.


So about the same as the fuel used by a car getting from the M25 to
terminals 2/3 and back.
