Yes. It does seem rather a coincidence that it was announced this week by the Airports Council International Europe. It even beat Schiphol which is built on reclaimed land and I've always found it a relief after leaving Heathrow to arrive at Schiphol, descending over water and no buildings then get on a train to Amsterdam. It win the Eco award for its commitment to environmental responsibility in recognition of its car share scheme, public transport improvements and reduced air pollution by 16% over 5 years but that's only for a radius of 2 kilometres of Heathrow. Heathrow CEO John Holland- Kaye says that they need to expand Heathrow to take our country even further. |
