R3 will reduce holding and fuel burn until commercial pressure quickly fills that runway capacity as well and you are back to square one with even more stacks and fuel burn
Exactly! (and I have said as much before). If the UK wants 'light touch regulation' then airports will over book and stacks will occur and prices will go up to cover the fuel and time.

Of course, if you did regulate to limit stracking times, then they would say that they could not operate as cost effectively and ... put the prices up.

I love the modern world.
