  • A New Airport for London and the UK Technical Note - Shortlisting the Options
    A new airport for London and the UK Technical note - shortlisting the options 15 July 2013 Published by the Mayor of London in advance of his submissions to the Airports Commission on long-term proposals 0 A New Airport for London and the UK Technical note: Shortlisting the options July 2013 1. Introduction 1.1. The UK needs a new hub airport at a single site. The case for this has been presented by the Mayor in his two ‘A new airport for London’ reports1, as well as his responses to the Airports Commission Discussion Papers, all of which are available online at www.newairportforlondon.com. 1.2. This paper is the pre-cursor to the Mayor’s submission of long-term proposals to the Airports Commission. This paper sets out: why airport capacity that facilitates hub operations is essential and why dispersed expansion is not a credible substitute for a single effective hub airport, a high level assessment of a longlist of potential options for new hub airport capacity, application of different weightings to determine a shortlist of options that best meet the Mayor’s objectives for London and the UK. 1.3. The Mayor will be submitting three proposals to the Airports Commission on July 19 for the additional hub airport capacity that London and the UK need. 2. Executive Summary 2.1. A hub airport builds a critical mass of demand of ‘local’ origin/destination (O/D) and transfer traffic – supporting a wider range of routes and higher frequencies than would otherwise be possible. This enables hub capacity to offer a level of connectivity that supports future growth and prosperity for London and the UK.
