Heathrow is full.
I pax'ed in from FRA on Thursday on BA. First we had to go-around due to being too close to the one in front, then after landing we had to wait about 20 mins. for our stand to be vacated.
This is nothing unusual.
I operate cargo into LHR and we often have to wait 25 mins. at the holding point.
Jeremy Clarkson had the right idea in his Sunday Times column a few years ago. Build at least 2 more runways and tell all the people who live nearby to move if they don't like it. There have been Jets at LHR (LAP) since the 1950's, and I doubt many people have lived there that long.
I however, will be retired before there is another runway in the south east (10 years to go).
Why can't we just get on with things in this country instead of having endless public inquiries before anything gets built. i.e. T5 etc.!
