That's not needed. What is needed is for the government to recognise
that a lot of the traffic through Heathrow/Gatwick is travellers who

No Steve has you have mentioned if I want to go to say LA most of the
cheaper flights go via Schiphol or Charles de ball .
Distributing air traffic around the country would help with the "crowded
skies" problem.
We do need another international airport up here preferably somewhere
in the Kendal area or even turn Carlisle into one at the moment its
either Prestwick Manchester or London's airports for long haul flights
with nothing in between .
In the present climate I don't think I shall be flying anywhere for
many months to come especially after yesterdays debacle with flight
223 .
