Schiphol already is the de facto hub airport for large parts of the UK and expansion of Heathrow won't make any difference to that. Expansion of Heathrow means more flights to the most profitable destinations and that doesn't mean places like Liverpool or Teeside. There are large parts of the UK that are either too close to Heathrow for a flight and surface transport to Heathrow is less convenient than flying to Schiphol or Heathrow isn't interested in serving the UK airport because they can make more money flying elsewhere. Additional flights to major international destinations from larger UK regional airports are really what these regions want. |
