Heathrow throwback
Locals and environmentalists are critical of the damaging effects a third runway at Heathrow could have. Sound familiar? That’s because it’s not the first time people have protested the airport’s extension plans… #tbt

29/06/2019 14:54Adding the third runway will allow better spacing of traffic on the other two, reducing missed approaches expedited landings and rushed take offs, so reducing noise on the runway and reducing the number of aircraft that need to make a second approach because of a blocked runway.

29/06/2019 08:06Building another runway there is stupid. If e need more capacity, extend one other other existing airports around London, Gatwick, Stansted or Luton, and improve the transport links to the chosen one

27/06/2019 20:32Why not put Noise cameras on runways and fine Them if they exceed 70bd? Just sayin.... Last week on the BBC noise cameras to go on roads to catch noisy cars and motorcycles ! 100 cars with no exhausts are not as noisy as one plane

25/06/2019 21:43London already has enough capacity for Londoners so why not build a new airport or expand a regional airport to serve people who don't live in London
