A new vision aimed at increasing airport capacity in the UK’s southeast has been unveiled. Global design, planning and strategic consulting firm, Gensler, has released its vision for a new European hub airport, dubbed London Britannia Airport, which would position London as the global gateway for Europe, according to the company.
The proposed airport would float on the waters of the Thames Estuary, minimising disruption to London residents, affording the capital an opportunity to expand beyond its land-locked airports, and offering global travellers a European hub airport able to operate around-the-clock.
Passengers would be able to access London Britannia via high-speed underground rail. Vehicular access would be dispersed to three new land-based departure/arrival terminals, two located north and south of the estuary, and a third proposed for Central London between Canary Wharf and the Olympic Park.
