Does the government actually consult the CAA, NATS, or airlines when deciding where to locate extra runways/hubs/terminals?
No.
What they do is:-
- Make a speech
- Get interviewed on Radio / Telly / Newspaper
- Leak a story to the news media
Then they sit back and wait to see what the The Daily Mail and The Telegraph think of it.
If the reaction is not to adverse, they THEN think about formulating a policy. So, as you can see, this saves an awful lot of time and money and is really super efficient. It also means they don't have to plan ahead or doing ANY fµçkïñg thing at all.
Thought so!
