...and cargo, just like Mirabel.

You're right, STN is the UK's YMQ, just further out from London than YMQ is from Montreal.

Quote: "Suppose you turn LHR into a housing estate, all the people that worked at the airport or in airport related industries such as cargo, hotels etc. (which is tens of thousands) will now be relocating to Kent to go and work at Boris Island International. I think there is some very none-joined up thinking going on."

Doesn't Boris reckon that he can cram 250,000 houses on the LHR site? That's 500,000 people and no work. Brilliant!!

Expect that most of the long-serving, over-55, experienced aviation (and related) staff will take the redundancy and early retirement. Younger inexperienced staff may move. If they move where will they live if vanity project airport is in a rural area?

It's all academic anyway!

If Emirates plan to take over the world aviation market continues, then Dubai will be London East.

Dubai World Central, will be Terminal 6.
Renamed World Domination Central.
