Itās going to take some time though.
āConstruction is not likely to begin until 2020 or 2021ā.

Looks like PlaneCrazy was unsuccessful. Stupid group anyway. (Iām not talking about the user planecrazy, Iām talking about the protest group.) Iāve read some articles in Airliner World, and it seems like it took a lot of discussing and time to decide.

Yes but Iām happy. This means that British airways will add a route to the Isle of Man from Heathrow.which means we can get into London better.

If you ask me we need to confirm both runways at Gatwick and Heathrow

Whatās the point in that, Gatwick isnāt at max capacity as Heathrow is, and with a third runway at Heathrow thatāll further reduce the load on Gatwick.

@Jan Also, āIt is unlikely that any new runway capacity would be operational before 2025.ā

Really shameful. It takes LHR 5 years to build one runway after 4 years of planning for it when i takes ORD 10 years to add 4 runways, remove 2, and extend 2 other ones.

I found this on some other forumā¦
Gatwick is at 90% and by 2025 it will be 100%
Itās politics itās actually more like 60 years of discussions
There still needs to be a final vote at the end of next year before it will definitely go ahead

I knew it was something similar š¤ Looks like I spend too much time here.
Gatwick is well outside off London, Heathrow is a lot well placed
yes, unfortantly Heathrow is also surrounded by houses, motorways etc which will have to be ārelocatedā. Gatwick whilst a little further out (Takes 30 mins to Central London on the Gatwick Express rather than 25 mins to North London by the Heathrow Express) has more room for expansion.
