they all end up compelled to increase the size of the aircraft in use, or start additional flights from other airports in the south east (e.g. LH to Gatwick)
LHR, LGW and STN/LTN are all VERY different beasts, much more so than comparable airports like ORY/CDG or JFK/EWR, however try getting that across and people just can't understand why expanding somewhere else won't work.

I read in another place that Singapore were upgrading the afternoon B777-300ER rotation, SQ308 / 321, up to the A380. I was pleasantly surprised to see it's still a good looking Boeing at the moment and into the summer. What happened?
Heathrow now looking for "volunteers" for 2012.

what a great idea - every position that's volunteered for is one that doesn't have to be paid for. What with half the management offices being run by "interns" as well, that's yet more contribution to Ferrovial's bottom line.

Just a note to say that dear old T5 continues to delight ...
Car park to deliver friends going LH. One level showed 370+ empty slots. But the major part of it was closed for cleaning. That's nice that they are going to clean the surface but could they not have switched off, or capped, the space sensors? One then had to hunt much more carefully for a spot.
Anyway, on the way back to the car, we saw the new 'Find Your Car' machine and we thought that we would try, even though we knew exactly where we were. the machine was not working.
Don't stop BAA plc, you've got a winning formula ...

Air New Zealand
NZ Herald is reporting that Air NZ is refusing to rule out withdrawing its daily flagship service to London following a review of its loss making flights.
Airport departure tax is being cited as just one of the reasons.
The airline lost $1m a week on long haul operations in the second half of the financial year.
