I don't understand why this is in the news today, given that it was announced in July 2017 and reported widely in the media at the time:
Arora: What are we proposing?
BBC: 'Cheaper' Heathrow airport third runway plans proposed
As I posted as the time:
Much of the proposed savings would come, we're told, by scrapping most of the planned T6 satellites (and hence gates) and the proposed T2 expansion (ditto).
So R3 gets built, increasing passengers and movements by up to 50%, but with barely more gates than at present.
A perfect illustration of why airports don't tend to get designed by hotel developers.
