Comments - - an airport gateway south of London is key to the SE region, for intrastructure and easy accessibility of public transport, environmental factors. Having 2 runways makes the offering more secure for air traffic and may offer better operational efficiency - time and better convenience for the large catchment population - employment opportunities in the surrounding area - competition fairness for airlines to potentially have more UK access to slots - post Brexit, a good idea to enhance existing intra structure to business investment - having worked at Gatwick this past summer, the airport is congested at weekends. Flights are almost always later than scheduled. a 2nd runway offers efficiency. Frequent flyer inside Europe / frequent airport traveller ( 20+ times per year)
