The benefits of allowing London Gatwick Airport to expand using their existing infrastructure options are as follows: 1. Access to the airport is excellent via train, road and bus. No upgrades are needed. 2. The inclusion of existing space to have a 2nd usable runway would benefit capacity management and better use of ATC slot allocation. 3. More investment from airline carriers would be available with the extra capacity. 4. Employment opportunities would increase both at the airport and in surrounding areas. 5. Environmental impacts are negated by new technologies and commitments from Gatwick Airport. 6. Passengers prefer London Gatwick Airport as it is deemed to be a less chaotic environment than other airports.
