Many reasons why this should not go ahead: 1. Gatwick is already the busiest airport with many short haul flights 2. The noise level from airplanes in the Outer Noise band is already unacceptable 3. Dual runways can only increase the number of aircraft and consequently, the odds of an accident. All the technology in the world cannot avoid every accident and any accident involving aircraft is serious. 4. This can only increase traffic and travel chaos on an area already with stressed resources and infrastructure. The railway network is not able to cope with additional passengers and is proving an unreliable service beset with industrial relations issues, infrastructure limitations, etc.
