The bit that made me laugh in the interview was when 'The Putney Woman' tried to suggest that the new runway would be too short for new aircraft types!! If it is really the case that the C-series, 737 MAX and A32X NEO cannot take off with a good load off a 2000m runway then they might well lose a few orders!! What an ignorant and misleading comment, undoubtedly a poor attempt at masking the fact that a new runway will almost only be used for smaller narrowbody aircraft, which in turn tend to be a fair bit quieter than 747's, 777's and A330/40's and the like...
