Wants a Better Heathrow, Not Bigger Heathrow

[Mike Brown @Polar34bear]

A well attended Stop Heathrow Expansion AGM was on tonight in Harmondsworth with guest speakers John McDonnell MP and Paul McGuinness from #NoR3Coalition #StopHeathrowExp

[Sir Greg Hands @GregHands]

🌃Heathrow allows 16 flights to arrive been 0430 - 0600 each night.

✈️Run for the convenience of a few thousand passengers, at the expense of hundreds of thousands of people living below, under the flight path.

This should change.

Also excellent contribution from Finlay Asher of @_SafeLanding (starts 50:32) who says expanding Gatwick would be bad for workers, not better, i.e. doesn't make sense to invest in an industry that won't withstand the climate crisis in its current form. https://t.co/Jt2lJca4Na

Aviation is a huge health issue 😱

➡️Ultrafine particles penetrate into the lungs & even the bloodstream
➡️Aircraft noise leads to wide-ranging health issues
➡️ Health issues disproportionately fall on low-income communities

Heathrow retains spot as second highest polluting airport in the world, spewing out 19.1m tonnes of CO2 a year, and for its NOx emissions, at 5,844 tonnes.

Expansion, anyone?

London’s six airports produced the same amount of CO₂ as SEVEN coal plants in just one year. But turn your heating down, hey! Staggering new research on just how bad air travel is from @ODI_Global @transenv with comment from @StayGroundedNet. Read more:

[Teddington Action Group @TeddingtonTAG]

it would almost certainly be more efficient to keep on using kerosene and capturing other CO2 than creating SAFs: “It would be lower cost and there would be less CO2 overall”
SAFs a distraction caused by vested interests

"Ferrovial must have decided that the third runway is grounded for good. Yes, Heathrow’s project was unbelievably half-baked: a plan bringing guaranteed chaos that involved bulldozing 750 homes and rerouting all 12 lanes of the M25. It couldn’t afford it”

"Heathrow has proved a lucrative investment for its shareholders, handing them £4 billion in dividends from 2012 to 2020"
Now its liabilities exceed its assets and it has has lost its fight for higher landing charges

“Ordinary citizens who are taking peaceful action in protest at the Government’s failure to tackle climate change are being punished to the point of being crushed. And we have to ask ourselves: is this the free and democratic country we want?”

Was this departure permitted by @HeathrowAirport or a dispensation by @transportgovuk ? We have no access to data on this and [email protected] fail to respond. @cisha_org

[No Airport Expansion @NoAirportExp]

Could Heathrow ever afford to build a 3rd runway? since it finally got permission for it in early 2020 (then we had Covid) the cost will have hugely increased - for the £14 billion estimated then.
The airport would struggle to afford even that now https://t.co/fqO1N1jDKi

[NoR3Coalition @NoR3Coalition]

Our @robbarnstone quoted in this FT piece by @Philgeorgiadis on the prospects of Heathrow’s 3rd runway ever seeing the light of day https://t.co/isR5K7gJFz

[NoR3Coalition @NoR3Coalition]

Paul McGuinness, chair of the No 3rd Runway Coalition, said he believed that the gifts airports handed to MPs are “just the thin edge of the wedge.”

"It is historic that the Dutch government decided to reduce the number of flights at Schiphol Airport. This is a u-turn: the time of more and more flights is over,” says Maarten de Zeeuw, aviation expert at Greenpeace Netherlands.
