2012-11-15 — /travelprnews.com/ — On Thursday 15 November, Heathrow published its ‘One Hub or None’ report which will be presented to the Davies Commission. Gatwick Airport responded by saying:
“Growing Gatwick is the best way to address the current and future capacity problems in the South East. A new runway at Gatwick could be more affordable and practical than other options and give passengers a greater choice of routes to key destinations. Critically, we would have a significantly lower environmental impact compared to an expanded Heathrow.
“The Airports Commission needs to look to the future and not to Heathrow’s monopoly past. It will need to decide whether a competitive airports’ network in London, delivering more passenger choice, connections, convenience and lower prices, is more preferable to propping up an outdated and unnecessary expanded Heathrow.”
