For about half the passengers who fly in to and out of Heathrow, the road and rail links outside the airport don't matter, as they fly in from one airport, possibly change terminals, and fly out to another one. Which means there's even less reason not to use Manston. This is the target audience for expansion, as Heathrow is the biggest hub airport in Europe, and has a wider choice of international destinations than any other. They are trying to keep their lead in this over Frankfurt, Charles de Gaulle and Schiphol. And a hub airport brings very little to the UK other than pollution and profit for Heathrow Plc. The fact that the cabinet has been suckered into approving the new runway demonstrates - if we didn't know already - what a dim bunch of 2nd raters they are. |
