Default Why Heathrow?
So many airports that could do with another runway ....
Luton, Birmingham, Manchester.....slap in the face for drivers who are under ULEZ restrictions.... It will be a fiercely fought battle, can't see it being built in this term?

They've been trying to squeeze another runway into Heathrow for over 20 years, is it looking more likely to happen this time?

Wouldn't it be nice if they didn't just carry on old ideas but thought outside the box

I want them to bring back the idea for the weird sky bridges for bikes, those actually sounded quite fun.

Isn't the justification that the expansion will be green, with electric planes? You won't catch me on an electric plane

Heathrow is a chaotic hell hole. I despise travelling from there.

I wish Qatar would operate from Cardiff again. Bloody Covid ruined that.

i think it has a lot to do with existing infrastructure. Heathrow has it in spades, all the rest of the airports don't
