The interim report from the Airports Commission has been published. The Commission has short-listed the following proposals to investigate ahead of its final report: a new runway at Gatwick Airport more than 3,000m in length; a new 3,500m runway at Heathrow Airport constructed to the north-west of the existing airport; and an extension of Heathrow’s existing northern runway to the west to at least 6,000m, enabling it to be used for both take-offs and landings. The Commission is to revisit Foster + Partner’s Isle of Grain proposal early next year to see whether it offered ‘a credible proposal for consideration alongside the other short-listed options .The Commission connfirms the need for one more new runway for the South East to be operational by 2030. Analysis by the Commission also indicates that there “is likely” to be a demand case for a second additional runway to be operational by 2050. A final report is due by summer 2015.
