Stansted, the originally planned but abolished one at Wing, Gatwick, Luton, none of them are London. And the whole point of hub airports are that they are, well, a hub.

Heathrow makes sense. Well, it makes more sense than the other options.  It will cause me more work than any of the other options, but I still feel its the best.  And inquiry after inquiry backs this.

We all have to tolerate the inconvenience of supposed progression, be it pointless windmills, the white elephant that is HS2, stupid and dull motor racing events.  The proposed ban of night flights may actually improve the area...  ...although the area north of heathrow is a bit of a shithole anyway from what I remember last time I was there 4 or 5 years ago.

It is indeed a shithole. Because of Heathrow.

...and your not really trying to convince anyone that the other airports are not London...?

Faaaark oorrrrphhhh

Gatwick, Stansted and Luton are all London airports, as are Heathrow and London City...

Stansted has pre approved planning permission for a second terminal and a second runway. But is a billion miles from anywhere useful.

Gatwick's second Runway is a pre approved condition oif the North Terminal, dating back to the early '80s... The reason that it causes so much fuss is that 2019 isn't actually that far off.

Heathrow has no space for another runway. End of.

Way I see it...

Gatwick's runway will happen regardless, the only political football is whether Heathrow or Boris get their runway...

For the record Gatwick has two runways already.

And just for Tunnie...

On that point I would have to agree, and yes it is sad..........

Not going to happen unless Easyjet expand some more...

Just look at Birmingham airport... Spent shed loads on improving the infrastructure, yet because Birmingham is a hundred miles from Lumdun, it's of now sodding use to anyone

And while we're listing the London airports, don't forget London Lydd.

Where?? I hear you say, that's nowhere near London. At least expanding it would be cheap; a better bike for the airport manager and a couple of shiny new locks for the gate.

As for Boris Island, it's part joke/distraction so that when they approve Heathrow they can claim that the 'better' option* was refused.


* That's 'better' for fantasists who have no practical abilities whatsoever.

Really?

Where do you think/state you live again? Somewhere your postcode says it's not? 

Heathrow needs the runway, deal with it

No where near a London airport, that's for sure. although London is 40mins away if travelling at the right times. Especially if trying to catch the curry house before they shut.

There's no doubt there's a need. None at all. It's so great a need that there's a need for a completely new LONDON airport.

Farnborough airport is a far better idea. Ready to go as is
