It also makes routes which were not otherwise economic to operate, available to locals to fly on. ... which makes London one of the most connected places in the owrld to locate a business HQ, which brings more money and talent into the country. Indeed so, which is why the business community is so keen on the next runway being at Heathrow. London has been losing out to Amsterdam, Paris and Frankfurt, and government after government has been agreeing with the plan in principle, but then failing to confirm it. It'll be ironic if it's the dithering Maybot that finally does what Cameron, Brown and Blair failed to do. |
