Gatwick is a London Airport and currently functions as a back up to the main London Airport- Heathrow which has planning permission for another runway. Heathrow is a major hub for business orientated traffic and needs the new development to compete with other European airports. Gatwick functions adequately as a ‘holiday’ get away business domain without the necessity of further development and the consequent environmental issues and impacts which will blight its rural setting for both animal and humans alike. Cruising is fast becoming a significant mode of transport for holiday travellers (no crowded terminals, no lengthy delays, few cancellations and more value for money for families)and may well become the catalyst to lesser need for holiday orientated airports like Gatwick.
