I didn't really know where to post it.

Got the question about Heathrow Airport, if there is any changes in new games about slots in Heathrow? in last game Heathrow airport was just blocked with traffic, and it was very difficult to established any new connection, so I'm just wonder if there was any changes made to this airport

Just like in real life?

This is how it is now at Heathrow.  Choked and running over capacity.

This is why there are many airports in and around the city.

The same thing exists at many other major airports.  This is why Tokyo built Narita and Hong Kong built its new airport.

I know that this is happening in real life, but BAA CEO had a good idea to resolve this problem this is from Wikipedia

In order to increase the number of flights, BAA has proposed using the existing two runways in 'mixed mode' whereby aircraft would be allowed to take-off and land on the same runway. This would increase the airport's capacity from its current 480,000 movements per year to as many as 550,000 according to British Airways CEO Willie Walsh.

so this could happend in the game.

Um, so an airline proposed an idea.    It doesnt mean that it is going to happen.

I feel really sorry for the ground controllers at Heathrow if this happens.

the answer is NO. 
people ask this question in every round and the things you quote are just proposed.
Heathrow have huge demand to almost everywhere which benefit the LHR players already.Adding more slot will make LHR even more easier........
A slot in LHR worth over ten million dollars,and AWS totally reflect this.
