LHR is bursting at the seams and LGW is heading the same way, leaving aside LCY the other so called London airports have spare capacity but that's not where people or airlines ideally want to fly from.
Yes, that is the critical point: where the carriers and pax, especially premium pax (who pay the money that provides airline profits), want to fly from.

It's all about yield, so the answer is always LHR.

I just hope (fat chance) that if Davis recommends two runways at LHR & an additional one at LGW that whatever colour the new Government (RED/PURPLE/BLUE) that they have the balls to get on with.
Agree 100% but, regretably, can see pigs flying.

Does the purple in "new government" represent UKIP?
