I also disagree with your suggestion that the cost of expanding Heathrow should only be compared with other airport upgrade projects. The fact that entire new twin-runway airports can be built in various other countries (including those with high real estate prices) for a fraction the cost of upgrading Heathrow by one third is utterly damning. That's the point and it is valid.
Strange. Your OP said
IAG, Heathrow's largest airline operator by far (incorporating British Airways) opposes the R3 proposal unequivocally.
Now you’re equivocating. Could you confirm they’re opposed ‘unequivocally’ or only on cost grounds?
