Some rather strange logic in the Executive Summary:

"Transfer passengers represent only 13% of passengers using London’s airports. The number of routes which supporters of mega hubs argue can be facilitated only with transferring passengers is overstated."

So, if transfer traffic is relatively unimportant, why do airlines fight tooth and nail to get into Heathrow when they could save a fortune on user charges by flying to Gatwick instead ?
