    We must all get behind and support a growing industry.

  • Uwe Frohmader

    This second runway should not have permission to go ahead as it completely contradicts the net zero targets, causes pollution, noise and increases traffic on the roads.

  • Ven Hooi, Elain Lim

    New infrastructure is always good as will be able to benefit the community. I do not have further comments as I do not live around there. I'm willing to sell off the land to benefit the future... Read more

  • Yvonne Jenkins

    Bring a good economy to the area. Creating many jobs

  • Zoe Aspinall

    Flying, whether a short or long haul, is one of the most climate-wrecking modes of transport. Heathrow is one of the biggest single sources of greenhouse gases in the UK. A third runway will all but... Read more

  • Abigail Fry

    I am very concerned that opening the Northern runway for routine flights at Gatwick airport will impact on the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions. Why when we’re trying to move away from polluting... Read more

    Crawley as a whole is ever expanding. Infrastructure around the town is already suffering from new build housing. Higher passenger demand will increase congestion on roads and in the town centre.... Read more

  • Adrian Stone

    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... Read more

    Constance planes coming over, noice. Flight coming in throughout the night disturbing my sleep. Pollution

  • Alan Harvey

    I like planes. I support this development.

  • Alan Humphrey Hender Bate

    I have no issue with the expansion plans at Gatwick, as long as any expansion does not increase the footprint of the airport.

  • Alastair Reading

    My main concerns are about the environmental impacts of this project during an unprecedented period of global warming due to the burning of fossil fuels

  • Alexandra Holloway

    I am strongly against the proposed use of the Gatwick emergency runway as a main runway for routine flights. Since flights have increased back up to pre-Covid levels the amount of noise from aircraft... Read more

  • Alice Rosemary Tyrrell

    Having lived near a flight path for the past 23 years I have experienced a considerable growth in air traffic, the noise from which is amplified by the low level of background noise in this rural. The... Read more

  • Andrew Maynard

    I believe this should be supported. LGW has the best rail connections particularly compared LHR. The current congestion on the single runway causes aircraft to hold, engines idling, unnecessarily... Read more

  • Andrew Speirs

    I believe that an additional runway at Gatwick will severly increase the level of airplane noise pollution in the area. This is already significant, and continues very late into the night and early in... Read more

  • Barry Cullen

    This project will make a huge difference to the area, creating jobs and opportunities for the further development of the local economy.

  • Benjamin Hill

    It’s a great idea to expand the airport creating more jobs for the area.

  • Bente Elisabeth Lovell

    I live under the Gatwick flightpath, so any expansion at Gatwick is of huge interest. I remain to be convinced of why we need greater air traffic capacity in the south east, especially to the south of... Read more

  • Brad Falshaw

    With the proposed number of jobs and the need for more investment in the Gatwick surrounding areas, it would be a shame to see it turned down

  • Catherine Kirkpatrick

    I do not support the application of a second runway at Gatwick. The current amount of air traffic is already too high over a very narrow path into Gatwick. A second runway will only make the noise... Read more

  • Chang Xu

    We are delighted at this news as we would have to travel less as Gatwick much closer than Heathrow. Another runway would also mean a lot less time spent on taxiways, less delays and a wider option of... Read more

  • Chris Fenn

    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”... Read more

  • Chris Hinchey

    Additional aircraft movements will impact on the peaceful nature of the AONB to the south of Gatwick. Due consideration needs to be given to the impact of flights, their airways and SID/STAR routings... Read more

  • Chris Nutton

    Strongly support the project as it will increase jobs and enable greater economic growth in the region.

    I think sharing flights between lhr and Gatwick will reduce the noise of flights over Wokingham plus Gatwick is a much easier airport to get to than Heathrow.

  • Colin Watts

    I am in favour of changing the use of the northern runway for take offs etc. any complaints about noise are not valid as by the time the runway is operational aircraft will be quieter than they are... Read more

  • David Clements

    Concerned by excessive and intrusive noise as this is already too much fro, aircraft flying overhead our home.

  • David E Howard

    It's a complete joke to be expanding an airport during a climate emergency. It's not even a debate. The airport should be reduced in scale commensurate with the scale of the emergency as proven by... Read more

  • David Jeyes

    Great idea. Low cost. Enhances services and jobs.

  • David Lee

    I strongly object to the increased pollution, noise and other detrimental effects such as more road traffic to the airport. It is likely that extra infastructure will be required to support this... Read more

    Gatwiçk nèeds to expand and grow and with ulez is the only airport NOT in the zone as such cheaper to get to

  • Debra Gibson

    It will bring much needed employment in this area and also reduce waiting times for take off/landing slots. This is not a new runway but utilizing the existing emergency runway..which is a good thing

  • Dominic Devrim Unlu O'Grady

    Expansion of Gatwick would significantly increase aircraft noise both for those living near the airport and for those further away under flight paths. The noise envelope Gatwick has proposed is not... Read more

  • Dr Heather Smith

    During a climate emergency it is not in the interests of human health to open a new runway at Gatwick, both because of carbon emissions and air pollution.

  • Dr Robert Leigh

    The introduction of a second runway at Gatwick will be horrendous for those of us who are close to the flightpath. There are already too many flights and in an age when we are all supposed to be... Read more
