What tosh from Gatwick this morning that they will build a 2nd runway if LHR gets green light . If Heathrow does ever get built the only thing landing at Gatwick will be tumbleweed.

BA move over
IAG routes move over
EasyJet 40+

Leaves a scattering of charters overnight!
VS will move accross, just like BA, there's no point having a split longhaul operation if there's capacity at LHR.

Carriers in the LGW "waiting room" will also move accross to LHR.

Unlike U2, it is unlikely that FR will start operations at LHR-4, but may move more to LGW from STN(?).


Rumours of LHR-MSY to be announced?
Which carrier(s)?


Whilst supportive of Heathrow it seems bizarre that ALL London labour MPs support rw3.
Why is it bizarre?


Meanwhile it seems the SNP will now support LHR as well again based on dubious rationale, although there stance is more to do with the Barnett Formula.
The SNP always have supported LHR expansion, even when there was only a handful of them.

Scotland needs the connectivity just like the rest of the UK.


Well everyone is agreed it's an emphatic yes
to Heathrow.....everybody is unanimous

HAL "We ain't footing the biill"
Cabinet "We ain't footing the bill '
WWalsh "We ain't footing the bill"
Of course they're not, it will end up in a fudge of some sort, if the decision is ever made of course.
