It will indeed be years, as the world will come out of this looking very different than it did from only a couple of months ago.
Once the virus is conquered in the U.K. that will be only the start. If the government has any sense it will ban foreign travel to and from any country that still has cases, as we will just reinfect the country again if we don’t. Then there is the financial cost to the country and individuals.
While the council will no doubt go ahead with the DCO just to bag any permission, expansion will be many years away. If the airport came out with anything above 12million for 2021 it will have done well but future growth will be slow as the world recovers. Also Luton could lose out to Gatwick and maybe Stansted as they will also be looking to fill a void.
