Outline Proposal for Providing Additional Airport Capacity in the Longer Term 19 July 2013 Outline proposal for providing additional airport capacity in the longer term 19 July 2013 TESTRAD FOREWORD This report sets out an outline proposal for solving the UK’s longer term aviation capacity problems. TESTRAD propose an entirely new airport on a man-made island in the Thames Estuary, remote from population centres. The TESTRAD scheme offers significant advantages over other solutions being proposed: • London Britannia Airport can be delivered in 7 years after approvals. • £47.3 billion cost for an entirely new purpose designed global hub airport and the necessary rail, metro and road connections. • The development value of land at Heathrow (existing footprint) is estimated conservatively at £45 billion. • The optimum location for an airport in the estuary has been identified to minimise disruption to people, birds and existing industrial infrastructure. • Includes multiple modes of travel and travel times with the fastest link being only 18 minutes from Central London. Check in can be on-shore with fast transfer to the platform • Provides an unprecedented catalyst for regeneration of communities in the Thames Gateway National Priority Area for Regeneration (Designated 1994). • The new airport is future proofed, designed to cater for 172 million passengers per annum, and with runway capacity to expand if required in the future to 200 million passengers. • Six runways are proposed to allow triple and quadruple independent landings and takeoffs using proven air traffic control technology, thereby ensuring sufficient aircraft movement capacity to safely serve peak hour demand for the long-term future on a 24 hour basis under all weather conditions. • The innovative runway layout avoids all active runway crossings and minimises taxing times, while ensuring that all noise impacts occur over water and avoid populated areas.

The UK’s future economic success is intrinsically tied to its aviation capacity and its ability to support aviation growth in a market leading way. The existing configuration of London’s airports is inadequate even at current levels of demand, let alone as it increases. Capacity utilisation is at the maximum and the evolving market supports larger, more efficient and more sustainable airports around the world. The requirements will continue to change and aviation assets will need to offer flexibility, with a keen focus on sustainability, financial viability, and operational efficiency. A successful aviation solution for the UK is a long term investment which requires long-range vision. The issues and potential solutions are being hotly debated in the political, business and environmental arenas with key figures supporting different options. We offer our proposals herein. TESTRAD – the Thames Estuary Research and Development Company – is an umbrella entity which believes developing a new modern hub airport represents an opportunity for London to maintain its status as Europe’s premier aviation destination and to reinvigorate its role as a global transfer hub, which has been eroded due to airspace and runway capacity constraints. We also believe that this is an opportunity to apply innovation to airport capacity by combining proven and emerging technologies while enhancing the overall passenger experience. Such a development offers attendant benefits to the UK economy in general and the growing business and financial services sectors in central London in particular. An airport centred on the Thames Estuary can meet all the requirements for a new highly competitive hub airport. The TESTRAD Team TESTRAD includes experts in aviation, airports, transport, engineering, urban planning, architecture, the environment, hydrology, economics and the law. Volterra Partners: an economics consultancy with expertise in infrastructure and development projects. The partnership has been instrumental in developing new approaches to evaluation and economic impact analysis. It is led by Bridget Rosewell, who has developed analysis of High Speed 1, Crossrail, and HS2, as well as aviation. Bridget was the Chief Economic Adviser to the Greater London Authority for 10 years. She was a member of the Thames Estuary Steering Group, chaired by David King, and is a founder of TESTRAD which was set up to consider how to use the estuary to best effect. Gensler Global Architecture, Planning and Design Royal HaskoningDHV: one of Europe’s leading independent project management, engineering and consultancy service providers. Royal HaskoningDHV has an in depth knowledge of the Thames Estuary gained over several decades of providing engineering and environmental services to maritime clients and brings world-leading expertise in the design of offshore platforms and marine environmental impact assessment. HR Wallingford: a UK based independent engineering and environmental hydraulics organisation with a 60 year track record of working on major projects on the Thames Estuary. Lawrence Graham LLP: an international business law firm specialising in the development and operation of major transport infrastructure. UK Port Advisers: a specialist, multi-disciplinary organisation which concentrates on the ownership and exploitation of maritime assets worldwide. Aviation expertise is provided by a leading consultancy with global experience of airport master planning and design. The companies in our team are leaders in their field with extensive experience of the master planning, design, environmental impact assessment and delivery of major infrastructure schemes. Our team has an unsurpassed knowledge of London and the Thames Estuary through our work on aviation, 1 transport infrastructure, port developments and flood defence at policy, strategy and project levels. Our regional and local knowledge is set within the context of national and global understanding of the aviation market and the needs of both airlines and passengers. TESTRAD has prepared an innovative concept for delivering a new hub airport for London that may ultimately replace Heathrow’s hub role and provide the necessary long term capacity to satisfy the needs of the British economy and the travelling public. Our concept is underpinned by five fundamental principles: • Separating people from planes: giving passengers the benefits of air travel but without the damaging impacts to residents from noise and poor air quality. • Accessibility: putting terminals where people can get to them easily. • Scale: modern hub airports need large amounts of space to manage air and runway operations safely and efficiently. • Passenger experience: using the latest technology combined with reliable high speed transport connections to create a seamless experience to the airport with the opportunity to enjoy views across the iconic Thames Estuary. • Sustainability: maximising use of existing transport infrastructure and regeneration capability 1.1 London Britannia Airport The “London Britannia Airport” will be a multi-modal transportation system solution for London and the broader metropolitan region, as well as importantly extending hub airport services to the rest of the UK. It will serve as a world-class sustainable transfer passenger hub, providing a rich menu of frequent non-stop destinations for UK citizens, businesses and cargo. Fig.1 ‘Aerial View of London Britannia Airport’ This airport will serve as a long-term replacement for the runway system at Heathrow, while complementing other existing airports in the region, providing capacity for passenger and cargo growth through 2050 and beyond, minimizing noise, air quality and other environmental impacts. London Britannia Key Statistics: • Design capacity of 172 million passengers per annum (MPPA) with potential for expansion to 200 MPPA. • 5-6 runways providing phasing options to ensure future-proofing • Passenger Terminal at Ebbsfleet with journey time from central London in 22 minutes. • Future dedicated Passenger Terminal in central London with dedicated airside link from the city direct to the offshore Airport in 18 minutes – the fastest of all current proposals. • Ebbsfleet to the Airport in 15 minutes using new high speed rail link • Terminal Gateways allowing access from across London using existing the rail network • Easily accessible from the M25 using existing major road routes • No residents affected by the most disturbing noise associated with take-off and landing as the noise profile is entirely over water. • 24 hour flights with no restrictions Refer to Fig.4 ‘Indicative Access Routes Diagram’ in image appendix 2 2 PURPOSE OF THE SUBMISSION This report comprises the submission to the Airports Commission (“the Commission”) from TESTRAD and is made in response to the call from the Commission for long term options to provide UK hub capacity. In preparing our submission we have had regard to the guidance issued by the Commission, including the sift criteria.

  • Thames Estuary Airport: AEF Position Paper
    Thames estuary airport: AEF position paper 3rd December 2009 Summary The London Mayor has suggested that the development of an estuary airport may provide an alternative to Heathrow expansion and commissioned Doug Oakervee, the engineer who masterminded Hong Kong’s island airport, to conduct a feasibility study. This briefing takes a historical look at estuary airport proposals and the issues that have arisen, assesses the recent report from Douglas Oakervee, and sets out AEF’s view on the proposal to construct a new airport in the Thames Estuary. AEF considers that all UK aviation expansion plans should be put on hold pending a review of the fundamental evidence underpinning Government policy on airports. We are concerned about the environmental impacts of a new airport in the Thames Estuary in terms of biodiversity loss and likely increases in greenhouse gas emissions as a result of increased aviation activity. Purported environmental benefits of in terms of noise, air pollution and risk, meanwhile, remain uncertain. We are therefore opposed to the building of a new airport in the Thames Estuary, and consider that rather than investing further public money into consideration of new airports, investment should instead focus on provision and promotion of low-carbon alternatives to aviation. Why estuary airport proposals have never got off the ground: some historical examples Maplin Sands A proposal to build a new airport at Maplin Sands was considered as part of the Airports inquiries 1981-83. TCPA – the Town and Country Planning Association – supported it on the grounds that, in terms of both agricultural and noise impacts, it was preferable to the expansion of Stansted.

  • A Monte-Carlo Approach to Estimating the Effects of Selected Airport Capacity Options in London
    A Monte-Carlo approach to estimating the effects of selected airport capacity options in London. Daniel Irvine, Lucy C.S. Budd and David E. Pitfield. Transport Studies Group, School of Civil & Building Engineering Loughborough University, Loughborough, LE11 3TU U.K. [email protected] Abstract The issue of future airport capacity in London is currently the subject of much political debate in the UK. Through the use of Monte Carlo simulation, the paper quantifies and compares the relative capacity enhancements that may be afforded by the construction of a new hub airport, additional runways at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted and changes to operating practices at Heathrow. The simulations indicate that a new hub airport would be the most effective way to increase capacity, although the reported financial and environmental costs of such a development suggest a comparatively poor rate of return. Proposed new runways at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted and the removal of runway alternation at Heathrow provide more modest increases in capacity. Keywords: airport capacity, Monte Carlo simulation, London, UK. 1. Introduction Debates surrounding the provision of future airport capacity in London and the South East have had a long and controversial pedigree with the issue polarised between those who claim connectivity is vital for economic growth and those who believe that 1 airport expansion creates an unjustifiable social and environmental burden. At the time of writing, a UK Government-appointed Airports Commission, chaired by Sir Howard Davies, is evaluating a number of possible options to enhance airport capacity in London and the south east. This paper employs Monte Carlo simulation to provide estimations of the relative effect on airport capacity that five proposals, which are all reportedly under consideration, afford.
