North West
In fairness I think the article was eluding to the cost of additional runways with reference to the APD mix.
In France, Germany, Holland etc they have either scrapped or lowered APD to fairly low rates, we havn't therefore I "think" it was more about context.
UK passengers pay APD, but those who are in transit INT-INT do not !
Personally I think we should have had a 4 runway system at LHR years ago, adding one runway will make bugger all difference as the capacity will have been used up by the time it is built !
BUT having said all that I have to agree it seems perverse that we are leveling half of West London to in effect, put in an extra runway where no cost is bourne by a significant proportion of the people using it !
I think it was more about UK pax being penalised !
