| "Despite what the consultation document states, I will never get on a 767, 777 or A330 taking off from the third runway – I’d likely end up on the M25 as all these planes need more than 2200 m to take off!" Not necessarily! 747-400s regularly fly to St Maarten in the Caribbean, and the runway there is 2180 m. Silverjet fly 767s non-stop to New York and Dubai from Luton (runway 2160 m). Even if the departure would be too heavy for the 3rd runway, the arrival might not be, which is what would affect us most in Chiswick. |
