The
Future of Air Transport - White Paper
The Future of Air Transport Consultation (2002-3)
The Government's regional consultations ended in June 2003 and received over 400,000 replies, believed to be the highest response to such an exercise, showing public opposition to new airport and runway proposals. It set out the following for possible airport expansion:
1. Additional runways at Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, East Midlands,
Birmingham or Luton;
2. New terminal capacity;
3. New road infrastructure to access airports;
4. New airports at Cliffe in Kent and near Rugby in the West Midlands.
