I cannot agree that a third runway will see the likes of Jersey, regional airport routes back at LHR. If it was feasable there would be far less narrowbody a/c than there are at the moment and why the F50 KLM is allowed in / out I cannot understand. It surely must be a loss leader. LHR and its surroundings are and have been at a standstill during the peak rush hours since the 70's. Its time for a lot of us to start thinking outside the box and to consider exactly what the state of aviation will be like in 10 / 20 years. There might be no requirement for any improvements as the UK might be bankrupt by then anyway and surely other countrys services will enable transfer pax to miss out the UK. I fail to see that we actually earn anything from them and once the airlines start paying the proper price for fuel that to will make a difference.
