Theres plenty of ex-RAF bases all around England that could become an airport, LHR is already too congested, all any of them need is a fast rail link

The issue isn't just folks coming into the country, or leaving it, but people in transit.

That's why Heathrow will be the one, because all the major airlines want to use it as a hub.


if passing thru they can change planes anywhere


No you don't get it do you if the big international carriers can't use Heathrow as a Hub they won't switch to a less well known UK airport they will go to Charles de Gaulle airport in paris or Schipol amsterdam which will isolate Britain more as a world trade hub people are fickle Heathrow has the "name" it is a prestige airport to land at if you fly through/to Heathrow your'e a player Stansted or Luton your'e a tourist

Fresh call for Auchtermuchty Airport expansion

30 August 2012 Updated: 4 September 2012, 12:04

A group of MPs, businesspeople and councillors have made fresh calls for the expansion of Auchtermuchty Airport to ease pressure on Heathrow.

City council leader Tavish McDoom is among those to put his name to a letter published in today's Daily Telegraph.

It said the long term of Auchtermuchty Airport as a major gateway at the centre of the UK would reduce unproductive surface travel time and leave Heathrow as a gateway for London and the South East.
