Heathrow expansion

10/7/2018

Comments

​“I’m against the expansion of Heathrow as it will throttle direct flights from Scotland while increasing flights to London to feed the Heathrow hub.
 
“The airplanes used for internal flights are smaller than those used for international flights so it stands to reason that direct international flights, transporting more people in a single airplane, mean less individual flights over Clydebank and the rest of Scotland.
 
“Conversely feeding the Heathrow Hub with smaller internal airplanes will mean more individual flights.
 
“In the past, whenever there has been severe weather in London or there is outfall from Icelandic volcanoes, the first flights to be cancelled are those between London and Scotland leaving international travellers to and from Scotland stranded. There is no reason to suppose this will change.  This is a lose/lose situation for my constituents in Clydebank and for the whole of Scotland.”
