January 22nd - Heathrow Hubbub
I'm back at Heathrow – where, as I discussed yesterday, reports suggest the third runway could be given the green light. Several developments since then: Environmentalist George Monbiot has revived calls for a frequent-flyer levy. easyJet chief executive Kenton Jarvis has said that his airline would only be interested in going in to Heathrow if it can do so at scale. And I speculate that "mixed mode" – landings and take-offs on both runways – could be brought in ahead of a third runway opening. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
