A New Runway for Heathrow? A New Airport for London

Only one new airport runway has been built in the UK since 1946, whereas the French have built four outside Paris alone. Visitors arriving at the airport can quickly arrange car hire France and drive on to there final destinations - not so straightforward as in the UK.

Airports in France impose less on the population given the availability of space

Build a new airport in the Thames estuary and have some foresight like Hong Kong did!

As they get wealthier, other emerging nationalities will want to travel the globe.

Five million UK citizens live abroad and millions more UK residents have families and friends from the Punjab to Pittsburgh.

They will want to fly to and from the UK and we should welcome them.

Flights to the UK become more and more popular.

If the UK allows its civil aviation infrastructure to wither, there are other nations poised to take advantage.

But what is that to do with LHR's predicament? Other than that Paris airports, and France, will gain uk's air traffic and business.

Meanwhile the number flights to Paris, Charles de Gaulle which alone has 4 runways, never mind those at Orly will welcome these new visitors. Both airports would be happy to accommodate flights to London and any air traffic Heathrow can't manage.
