Heathrow and the UK economy is being crippled by two runways, and the

If Heathrow served only passengers who were starting or completing
their journey in the UK, there would be masses of spare capacity.

The last statistics I saw were several years ago, but Heathrow had the
highest percentage of transfer passengers of any major European
airport.


They take one look at Heathrow, see the queues to get into Britain, and
decide not to stick around?
