Walsh slams third runway opposition

Walsh slams runway opposition | ABTN

SO it seems that the incoming government and the businesses that actually work and live at LHR daily have differing opinions!

Things could get awefully messy in the coming years!!


"The economic case for a third runway simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
"We are aware that BA does not share our view but we are part of a widening coalition of business leaders, local authorities, charities, environmentalists and community groups who realise that Heathrow should be better not bigger," Ms Villiers said.
So it is better for the enviroment that every inbound aircraft to LHR has to hold for 20 minutes burning extra fuel, than having a third runway and letting them land straight away???????
