Heathrow Expansion
Hi Folks
I’m not an ATC, but am in the application process, just have a quick Q.
Now that runway three has been given the go-ahead, one thing never mentioned is how an extra 200k flights a year will be managed. I would have thought that the south east’s skies were congested as it is, without this burden.
Just curious as to how this will be achieved? Also how much space is there up there considering there is talk of Gatwick/Stansted expansion in the future as well?
I realise there are busier airports than Heathrow, but few if any surrounded by other busy expanding airfields.
thanks
