There is quite enough air traffic over south east england already - we don't need any more. And the comparisons between heathrow and Schippol or CDG are bogus. Those ARE the main airports for the amsterdam and paris. Amsterdam doesn't have any others of note and paris only has Orly. London has heathrow, gatwick, stanstead, city, luton and - at a push - southend. Thats plenty. This whole drive for airport expansion is nothing more than vested interests in the airline industry pushing their own agenda at the expense of quality of life of millions and the enviroment. You apparently don't understand the concept of a hub airport. A "hub" is of little benefit to anyone other than the airport itself since by definition most of the passengers and freight will simply be passing through. Any tired old economic growth arguments put forward in support are specious and are purely self interest. There are enough runways in the SE. We don't need anymore just to bolster the share price of Ferrovia or get Boris a seat on the board of a construction company when he finally gets bored of playing at being Major. -- Spud |
