Wrong question.
How will Heathrow or Gatwick with their nice shiny new runway(s) explain that nobody really thought about increasing the
system capacity so the new runway, the reason all those hotels/listed buildings were demolished, can only operate at a few aircraft an hour and those come from movements that could easily have operated from the existing runways.
Yes - it could happen.
