London Mayor wants new airport
12.08.08
London Mayor Boris Johnson has called for a new airport to be built to the east of the city to ease congestion at the other five serving the capital. He wrote in the Telegraph: ‘It is ... ever more urgent that we investigate the possibility of a long-term solution, in the form of a new and more eco-friendly international airport.'
Mr Johnson, who was elected in May, said that he doubted that a proposed third runway for Heathrow would ever be built, and said Gatwick, London's second biggest, was ‘full to bursting’. He also said that he also favours expansion at east London City Airport.
