The cynic in me says that no alternative will be considered as the lobbying might of BA/BAA have now irretrievably locked themselves into Heathrow and can't afford to budge or reorganise. As they have been forced to give up Gatwick and Stansted they have retreated back to LHR. Stansted now has loads of capacity spare. Reform of the "Spanish practices" around the slot allocation and introduction of more discriminating landing charges to reflect the environmental impacts at different airports could be one way of tackling the problem. |
