We need a second runway as it will take pressure off Heathrow and Gatwick has all the infrastructure (roads, rail) already in place. It is easy to get to from anywhere in the South East and by train from London (prevents more traffic on M25 and other roads). The space for the runway is already there and there would not be any more compulsory purchases for local residents etc. Air traffic is not going away and it will have to evolve to be less environmentally friendly - probably by using synthetic fuel or whatever.
