Rejected petition AIRPORT POLICY
More details
Should the necessity to travel to Heathrow remain?
Why expand at Heathrow - again? Why not utilise the TWO under-used runways at Manchester by introducing more long-haul alternatives?
This would result in reduced domestic flights at Heathrow - easing runway capacity, shared long-haul alternatives for traveller convenience and reduced road chaos around the Heathrow area.
Action is needed now!
