Sir Howard has published his report but does anyone expect that a single shovel of soil will be moved within the next decade or so?
I do not mean to be overly pessimistic but the report is just that--a recommendation. Frankly, as we in the industry know, there would optimally be many runways poured in the region.
Development is full apace in the city. One would think an equal amount of development in airport infrastructure would follow.
I know this is not an easy problem to solve and I certainly could not be king for a day and bring it to rights, but it seems the bickering has just started.
