Yeah, and let's build a new airport between Rugby and Coventry whilst we're at it.

All looked at in the White Paper, all dismissed - we can't even get a new terminal here, and that's just to handle 2m pax per year without any investment needed on the kind of scale mentioned above.

New airports on greenfield (or muddy marsh) sites in the UK?

Who will pay? No-one
How will they get past the nimby and the green lobby? They won't

Pigs will sprout wings before any of these proposals leave the drawing board.
