Work led by Sir Terry Farrell also shows how expansion at Gatwick would provide better balanced growth for London, the region and the UK.

The Independent Transport Commission commissioned a team at RDC Aviation Ltd to address two key issues. First, is the airline industry’s hub-and-spoke business model, based around large hub airports, likely to continue to be key to long-haul connectivity? Or will it be superseded by long-distance point-to-point services, flying to and from smaller airports? Second, if the UK’s prime need is indeed for additional hub capacity, how much will it actually need in the decades ahead?

This event, organised by Runways UK, considered the work of the Government’s Airport Commission. Contributions came from key aviation, environmental, economic, business and government figures, together with the promoters of the short-listed concepts, presenting their schemes publicly in a structured and comparable format, which enabled delegates to assess each one against the Commission’s own sift criteria. Going forward, Runways UK will become an annual event which will evolve with the progress of the Commission initially and thereafter with the development and sustainable delivery of the solutions it identifies as viable options for meeting the UK’s international connectivity needs in the short, medium and long term.

Decisions on expanding capacity for traffic through London’s airports exemplify these interactions and constraints, and the UK Airports Commission has been established to examine how any need for additional capacity should be met in the short, medium and long term. The Roundtable, organised in co-operation with the UK Department for Transport and the UK Airports Commission, was convened to contribute to this examination by reviewing international experience in reconciling planning and environmental constraints with demand for airport capacity and the potential benefits in terms of productivity and growth from developing international airline services. Presentations and papers are available, together with a discussion paper presenting a summary and conclusions from the events.
