don't understand WHY we have to be bigger than CDG, AMS etc etc - why are we sweating to get bigger?
If LHR stays exactly the same size then there is the same number of jobs, the same number of flights to the same places and a steady growth in passengers as larger planes replace the smaller ones................... even maybe a long term reduction in noise and pollution for the same reason
Most people wouldn't suggest we had to have the worlds tallest building just because they've built one in Dubai so why do we have to have the worlds largest airport???
