Sure, STN doesn't need one - that was always a smoke screen in my view. If I was a betting man, I would bet on LGW when their time limit expires.
The Future Heathrow Group warned in newspaper adverts "Heathrow's status as a global hub is at stake".
I don't agree - that moment has already passed. It's just that the tipping point has not yet been reached but the quality of European hubs removing traffic from LHR are now joined by some Middle Eastern Hubs too.

Protesters buy up Heathrow land
Land earmarked for the construction of Heathrow's third runway has been bought by anti-expansion protesters.
Land the size of a football pitch near Sipson village - which would lose hundreds of homes in the expansion - was bought by a Greenpeace coalition.
They have pledged not to sell the land to the government or BAA if the airport expansion gets the go-ahead. Greenpeace director John Sauven said: "We've thrown a massive spanner in the engine driving Heathrow expansion."
