Why? because there is no alternative.
There are alternatives..Such as expanding another London Airport..In truth Heathrow is the crown jewel of British airports and should be expanded by right.
it is the hub we all know, also the hub that foreigners know - an airport on stilts is not the answer.
Fairdealfrank - Action on the third runway has to be soon, or Heathrow will become a second class airport IMO..With all the implications that would entail.
Back on topic..Boris Island is a dream, that if started will become a financial nighmare IMHO.
