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?

Yes goes back much longer

[arista]

Of Course Mayor Khan
is against it.

But can not stop it

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

Gatwick needs a second runway more.

the amount of times Ive been delay travelling into gatwick because they dont have approval for a slot to land.

Well I wouldn't expect to, you'd be moving far too fast.

And in the sky.

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.

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

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

By the time
Runway 3 will be Finished
More planes will be Electric
and using less bad fuel.

I was there on sunday actually. and back next week.

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

I always expect at least an hour to get out of heathrow when landing. the taxiing the walk to passport control and the baggage all take for ever.

Gatwick is fast if landing at the south terminal. never a queue for security.

The new runway at Heathrow will not be ready until 2040....

Well first and foremost Heathrow has to agree and if they do there will be massive disruption to the M25 so where else would you put a new runway ... where it will cause max disruption....

Micheal O Leary was on Sky this evening saying all Rachel was talking rubbish as it would take so long to build an if she did want growth, all she had to do was to get rid of passenger airport tax and growth would be immediate....
