Of course Tim Clark has an axe to grind, just as Willie Walsh does. For
quite different reasons, it would suit both of them if the runway is
never
built.

you need to explain that because that article says that he wants more
slots in Heathrow and wont get them without the new runway


He actually wants bigger aircraft but Airbus won't make them.

Yup. Even worse, from his point of view, Airbus and RR won't even produce
an enhanced, more efficient version of the 388, as they believe not enough
would be sold to justify the investment. Both would rather produce enhanced
versions of the bigger-selling, much more modern, A350.
