        @stirry76 But if all the flights that *have* to go through London but start in regional airports were just direct flights it would help!

        @BBCBreaking given the London air box is almost full wouldn't moving capacity to an airport outside London perhaps along HS2 route.

        @BBCBreaking Good options; London still risks losing its global hub status to EU cities with 4-5 runways and lower or no Air Passenger Duty

        @BBCBreaking air travel will increase apparently, only if prices reduce, or travel will reduce
