London Heathrow Airport Third Runaway Is The Best Solution

Third Heathrow runway is best solution to aviation logjam, says airport's owners

Heathrow proposes three potential sites for the third runway
and says plans would cost £14bn-£18bn.

A three runway Heathrow, handling 130 million passengers a year is the solution to Britain’s aviation logjam, the airport’s owners have said.

Heathrow’s proposals, which have been presented to the Davies Commission examining hub capacity in the South East, could eventually see a fourth runway being added to the airport.
The blueprint unveiled on Wedesday, proposes three potential sites for the third runway, two of which would be to the west of the existing airport. Heathrow says the plans would cost between £14bn and £18bn.

Heathrow, which is now owned by investors from Spain, Singapore, the United States, Canada and Qatar, says its plans are the cheaper than any hub option put forward by its rivals and Boris Johnson, the London mayor, who has called for a four runway airport either at Stansted or on the Thames estuary.
Gatwick, meanwhile, is pushing for a second runway, arguing London would be best served by a constellation of competing airports.
Heathrow’s plans for a third runway were backed by the last Labour Government but scrapped when the Coalition took office in 2010.
These proposals are, the airport said, radically different from those which were approved by Labour.
It says the extra capacity, which would raise the number of flights at the airport from the current 480,000 a year to 740,000, could be delivered between 2025-9.
But the plans are certain to anger environmental and residents groups who successfully fought off the last expansion plans.

One option would be to place the third runway to the north of the existing airport. It is seen as the cheapest alternative but would have the greatest impact on local residents and inflict more noise on the community than the two others.

Building a runway to the north west would cause less disruption to residents and noise damage, but would take longer to build and cost more.
The third option, building a runway to the south west is the most complex and expensive, but has the least impact.

Although the plans raise the possibility of building a fourth runway in the future, Heathrow suggests it may not be necessary.

Crossrail - the line slicing across London from Essex, a rail route from the west and the proposed high speed rail link from London to Birmingham and the north would all enhance public transport access to the airport.
“After half a century of vigorous debate but little action, it is clear the UK desperately needs a single hub airport with the capacity to provide the links to emerging economies which can boost UK jobs, GDP and trade,” said Colin Matthews, Heathrow’s chief executive.

“It is clear that the best solution for taxpayers, passengers and business is to build on the strength we already have at Heathrow. Today we are showing how that vision can be achieved whilst keeping the impact on local residents to an absolute minimum.”

Already opponents gave Heathrow a taste of the opposition it is likely to face as it pushes the case for expansion.

“We will fight any proposal for a new runway tooth and nail. We owe it to future generations to stop a third runway,” said John Stewart of the anti Heathrow expansion group, HACAN.

“While we are encouraged by Heathrow’s plans to try to reduce noise, the additional runway will put a 200,000 extra planes a year in the skies over London and the Home Counties and will negate these efforts”.
Business leaders backed Heathrow’s plans. "Expanding Heathrow is the best way to solve Britain's airport capacity conundrum. It is quicker and cheaper than the other options, and far easier to get to for almost all passengers,” said Corin Taylor, Senior Economic Adviser at the Institute of Directors.

With quieter planes and steeper descents, it can be done in a sensitive way. Britain will miss out on the trade we need with high growth parts of the world unless we urgently expand our hub capacity."
Dr Adam Marshall, Director of Policy at the British Chambers of Commerce, offered his support.
“Businesses across Britain need the best possible air links if they are to deliver growth, jobs and investment,” he said.

“For that reason, we support the expansion of our global hub airport at Heathrow, as well as new runways at other airports in the South East, such as Gatwick and Stansted.

“All three airports have private-sector investors who stand ready to invest in increased capacity, which is absolutely critical at a time of public-sector financial constraint.” But Boris Johnson, London's mayor, dismissed the proposals.

"There are absolutely no circumstances in which the expansion of Heathrow will be acceptable to London or of long term benefit to the country.

''Three quarters of a million people are already seriously affected by aircraft noise in their homes, and we cannot allow private profit to dictate a worsening of that situation.

''There will be more pigs flying than aircraft if we are to believe the claim that three runways at Heathrow will make less noise than two.''

America Joins Japan in Grounding Aircraft

An All Nippon Airways Boeing 787 Dreamliner (PA library photo)US authorities have ordered a review over safety fears after an emergency landing in Japan.



Boeing Dreamliners Grounded Across The World

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has ordered airlines to ground Boeing's 787 Dreamliners over safety fears after an emergency landing in Japan.

It follows a decision by the US Federal Aviation Administration and two Japanese airlines to ground all of their 787s after a sixth problem with the aircraft in less than two weeks.

The planes will be grounded until the risk of possible battery fires is addressed, a US official said.
The federal agency plans to work with Boeing on a plan to allow the Dreamliners to "resume operations as quickly and safely as possible".

GS Yuasa Corporation, the maker of the lithium ion batteries used in the 787s, said it was helping with the investigation but that the cause of the problem was unclear.
The EASA typically implements safety directives when they are issued by the country where the aircraft was originally designed - in this case the US.
Poland's state-controlled LOT Airlines said it would seek compensation from Boeing.
It expects delivery of three more Dreamliners by end-March, but would only take them if the technical issues have been resolved,


deputy chief Tomasz Balcerzak told a news conference.
Ethiopian Airlines and Qatar Airways have also decided to ground their Dreamliner aircraft.
Qatar Airways' CEO Akbar al Baker said: "In light of recent events surrounding the Boeing 787 Dreamliner worldwide, we are actively working with Boeing and the regulators to restore full customer confidence in the 787.

"Qatar Airways will resume 787 operations when we are clear that the aircraft meets the full requirements of the Airworthiness Directive and our standards which assure the safety of our passengers and crew at all times. So we are not flying the aircraft until and only such a time this is achieved."
Ethiopian Airlines said it had not encountered any problems and is hoping to return the planes to service as soon as possible.

United Airlines is the only American carrier to have 787s and has six of the aircraft in its fleet.
The decision comes just days after the FAA Administrator Michael Huerta and Transport Secretary Ray LaHood declared the plane safe.

All Nippon Airlines (ANA) announced it was grounding all 17 of its 787s after one was forced to make an emergency landing in west Japan on Wednesday.

Japan Air Lines Co Ltd (JAL) said it would also suspend all Dreamliner flights scheduled to leave Japan on Wednesday over safety concerns.


Public broadcaster NHK said the ANA aircraft landed in Takamatsu and all passengers on board were evacuated after smoke was seen in the cabin.

ANA spokeswoman Naoko Yamamoto said: "It made an emergency landing at Takamatsu because there was an error message during the flight.

"It is true that the aircraft has recently seen a series of troubles. But we cannot say if this has something in common with previous problems."

A statement later said a battery problem had forced the emergency landing.
TV footage showed emergency chutes deployed from the plane at the airport, on Japan's fourth largest island of Shikoku.

ANA said 129 passengers and eight crew were on board. Some of the passengers were reported to have suffered minor injuries as the plane was evacuated.

The aircraft was travelling to Haneda Airport in Tokyo.
On Friday, oil was discovered leaking from another ANA operated Dreamliner at Miyazaki airport in southern Japan.

On the same day, a cracked cockpit window was also discovered on another of its 787s.
Last Wednesday, a domestic flight was halted by ANA because brake parts to the rear left undercarriage needed replacing.

And a JAL jet was also grounded at Boston Logan International airport in the US following an engine fuel leak.

Another JAL 787 filled with smoke shortly after passengers and crew had disembarked last Monday.
Japanese authorities announced on Monday they would investigate the fuel leak.
Japan is the biggest market so far for the Dreamliner, with ANA and Japan Airlines Co flying 24 of the 50 Dreamliners delivered to date.

Heathrow and Gatwick airports 'busier than ever'

Britain’s two biggest airports have been busier than ever, with Heathrow declaring 2012 a record year and Gatwick announcing passenger growth in December.

Heathrow Airport handled almost 70 million passengers, 0.9 per cent more than it did in 2011, according to its latest figures.                                                      London Heathrow Taxis
The rise was attributed to a 3.2 per cent increase in traffic from the north Atlantic, as well as more routes from Brazil, and a renewal of confidence in the Middle East, central Asia and East Asia.
A huge 21 per cent more passengers arrived at the West London airport from Brazil, together with a 5.9 per cent rise in passengers from China and 4.5 per cent more from Russia.
The number of visitors flying in from Africa dropped by 5.7 per cent, as did those from India (3.4 per cent), due to airlines either reducing or ceasing services.
As belts across Europe tightened due to the economic climate, traffic to Italy, Portugal, Greece and Spain dropped but this was offset by slight increases to Germany (2.3 per cent), France (0.6) and in domestic flights (0.5 per cent).
Figures in December were particularly high, with 5.6 million travellers passing through the terminals, an increase of 2 per cent on December 2011.

December was also a good month for Gatwick Airport, which handled 0.2 per cent more passengers in December 2012 than it had the previous year. London Gatwick Taxis

Annual traffic figures for Gatwick were also up – by 1.7 per cent to more than 34 million for the calendar year when compared to 2011.

Colin Matthews, BAA chief executive, said: “The figures for 2012 show Heathrow is delivering higher passenger numbers despite a tough economic climate. At the same time passenger satisfaction reached record levels.

“Over the next twelve months we will continue to improve the passenger experience and focus on our investment programme, as we move towards completion of the new Terminal 2.”
