At The Hub

If you have a British concept of distance, then Gatwick is a long way from the centre of London.

But that is not the case if you come from, say, Continental Europe, or the United States, or India, or China, or Brazil.

London's airport capacity needs to be expanded, but there is no case for a third runway at Heathrow when Gatwick offers a better alternative.

Pollution levels are already too high at Heathrow without a third runway, and adding a second runway at Gatwick would cause far less disruption than adding a third at Heathrow.

London can still thrive with two separate airport hubs.
