3rd Runway..is there airspace ?
Can anybody confirm how capacity constrained the London TMA is ?
Various reports I have read sugest a 3rd runway at LHR would make little difference in terms of increasing capacity as the airspace is so full.
Whats the view of ATC personnel ?
Also appreciate it will never happen but would it not be better to close LGW. LCY LTN STN etc and just build 6 runways at LHR ? Surely this would be easier to control than having such a cockeyed system where everything is crossing in mid air ?
