Re: Second Runway At Gatwick Airport

I'm not sure Trump would get involved because the extravagance of a new lavish terminal seem to have been kicked back and instead...

Quote:
The northern runway already exists at the airport parallel to the main one, but cannot be used at the same time as it is too close.

It is currently limited to being a taxiway and only used for take-offs and landings if the main one has to shut.

Gatwick wants to move it 12 metres further away to solve this problem.

It's hardly eye catching but productive. However...

It says being able to run both at the same time would allow around 100,000 more flights per year and create 14,000 jobs.

Gatwick says the £2.2bn project would not need government money, would be 100% privately funded, and could be complete by the end of the decade.

2.2 billion clearly something hasn't been disclosed in the report from SkyNews, what else are Gatwick planning

Quote:
The airport is already the second busiest in the UK, and the busiest single runway airport in Europe.
