The future of Gatwick looks very bleak? Who said so? What utter bullsh1t!
LGW has survived with a single runway operation for more than 50 years and, I think, LHR and MAN are the only UK airports with multi runway operations, does that mean that every UK airport, other than LHR and MAN, is doomed, has a very bleak future???
There is such a thing as an airport becoming too big, LHR as an example, a city within itself, overpriced parking, overpriced hotels, overpriced everything, a nightmare to travel to/from/via, I avoid LHR like the plague, give me a single runway operation airport any and every time!
