Unrealistic...slots and airlines...more regulation required.

Unfortunately any airport that tries to expand in the UK produces a huge reaction by environmentalists. In Luton's case, for example, groups like this instantly oppose any idea to expand the airport. Green belts are very sensitive areas, as there is inevitably a 300 year old cottage, farm or the like in the way :-\
Stansted, despite its London prefix, is some 30 miles away from the City of London and so I don't think local and national authorities see it as a viable long-term option. They seem fixated on keeping LHR as the world's busiest international airport. It too also suffers with opposition groups -
point taken. its still better than building a brand new airport.
man in the usa we dont run into stuff like this as much....
Daveos:
I quite agree :)
I think maybe there should be a more co-ordinated approach nationwide to target certain airports for growth, but I don't think it's a high priority so nothing will happen until breaking point is reached.
