I'm sure that's true but it still requires the owners to make the right decisions & it sounds like Gatwick is on the right track which is great news.
I've long thought that Gatwick has much to offer but was held back during its BAA days, the poor cousin to Heathrow. Whilst it will continue to live in the shadow of Heathrow whilst many airlines decide Heathrow is the be all & end all for them, at least Gatwick now has its own, very positive & strong voice.
