Rather than allowing more environmentally damaging fossil fuel burning noisy planes over built up areas at an already busy airport the government should look at options in less busy areas/“level up” by increasing capacity around the country or, to protect the environment, invest in high speed rail/wider railway infrastructure to remove the need for short haul flights and therefore reduce demand for additional runways. With Heathrow (not far away) building another runway already is ask why does Gatwick need another runway?
