It may be me being cynical but is the proposed plan for LGW realistic, or is it just a smoke screen to increase the chances for expansion at STN. It seems strange that LGW was omitted from the original proposal on the grounds of the 2019 agreement, only for major expansion plans to appear on a judges decision.
All of Britains major airports need major overhaul, LGW & LHR especially. It is ridiculous to try and increase the capacity by inward expansion within the confines of the perimeter fence. We are at risk of being the laughing stock of the aviation world with our outdated airports and connections to major cities. As Big Rab says, we are squeezing more and more flights into a space that doesn't exist.
