No one wants to pay for Heathrow or the infrastructure to get to it - see Willie Walsh comments on front page of the Times today - and within the next 50 years Heathrow won't be able to meet the stipulations of the Davies report on air quality, noise, or night flights. Davies downplayed the economic case for Gatwick who already have more passengers going through than Davies predicted they would have by 2020. So if they went ahead there would be judicial reviews and law suits which they would lose. So they didn't have a choice. The six month delay is to try to find a way round it by coming up with a fudge that those objectors to Heathrow and the Gatwick supporters will buy. I think that is unlikely but I guess they live in hope. |
