Heathrow are now offering an additional 25,000 ATM (not cash machines) by introducing Independent Parallel Approaches (IPA - not beer) before R3, and maybe for R3 as well.
These approaches using PBN will swing in at 8 miles on the final approach path creating new areas of noise and obviously a more sporty approach for passengers.
Awaiting incoming spelling and grammar check.
Is this the "brexit boost" that was being mooted about a year or two ago by Heathrow management? Works out at approximately two extra landings and takeoffs/hour. How are the slots allocated, is it the usual 50% for incumbents and 50% for new carriers?
