A3XX Airport mods!
Excuse me if I've missed something but...
In all the sales talk from Airbus they have stressed that Airport mods would not be neccessary due to the new A3XX fitting in to the existing 80 x x80 metre plan box.
Now heathrow has announced that £150m will be needed to modify the airport. Okay the arrivals and departures will need some expanding. But there's talk of widening the runways. Why?
What about the disruption to an already busy airport while this work takes place?
Uh?
