  1. Stewart Wingate Chief Executive, Gatwick Airport

  2. Colin Matthews Chief Executive, Heathrow Airport

  3. Heathrow Third Runway NW Option Colin Matthews, Chief Executive

  4. UK priority for trade and economic growth Without capacity for frequent direct long-haul flights the UK is being cut off from important markets Top global destinations by GMP served by other European hubs but not by Heathrow

  5. Unique importance of a hub A hub airport is uniquely important to establishing long-haul flights. Transfer passengers allow airlines to fly to more destinations more frequently than could be supported by local demand alone.

  6. Heathrow supporting the UK in the ‘global race’ Transfer passengers allow Heathrow to serve destinations not served by any other UK airport

  7. Heathrow – best placed…for business and the economy 202 of the UK’s top 300 companies have HQs within a 25 mile radius of Heathrow.

  8. Best placed for passengers With only 17 miles of new railway Heathrow could be further integrated to the southern, western and High Speed 2 rail networks, opening up 2,000 miles of the rail network for passengers and increase use of public transport to Heathrow to 50%

  9. Heathrow is getting quieter Even with a third runway, in 2030 there will be around 10-15% fewer people within Heathrow’s noise footprint than today. Quieter planes Phase out noisiest aircraft 90% next generation e.g. A380, 787, A350, A320NEO Only quieter aircraft get new take-off and landing slots Quieter operating procedures New flight paths to avoid populated areas Steeper approaches – 3.2 versus 3 degrees Displaced thresholds – 700m further down runway for smaller aircraft Runway location Each mile west means aircraft are ~300 feet higher over London Respite Alternate runways used for departures and arrivals Periods without over-flight for every community Noise insulation 100% insulation costs for high noise areas or significant new noise

  10. Third Runway North West

  11. Third Runway North West: Original proposal

  12. Third Runway North West: Revised proposal

  13. Cost and benefits

  14. Our ten commitmentsIf Government supports a third runway, we will:

  15. Politically deliverable?

  16. Jock Lowe Director, Runway Innovations

  17. Jock Lowe Heathrow Runway Extension

  18. Background • Air travel is here to stay • Heathrow is most travellers airport of choice • Heathrow is well run (but full) • The success of Heathrow is crucial

  19. Capacity where it is most needed Simple and quick and cost effective Significantly improves the noise climate Minimises land take and impact on local communities Heathrow Hub

  20. Northerly runway extended to approx 6,600m A link to the nearby mainline railway and Crossrail Car parking, reception area and possibly a terminal co-located with the station Realignment or bridging of M25 Four Individual concepts moulded into one plan

  21. Simple and quick Cost effective using private capital No village communities destroyed Relatively small number of residences lost Integrated ground transportation solution Early morning noise reduction Periods of respite still possible Benefits

  22. Environment • Global - Aviation industry can grow within Government limits • Local • Much smaller land take and lower impact on areas of special protection • Improves air quality by spreading NOX emissions • Improves the noise climate compared to today

  23. Noise is a crucial consideration

  24. Modern runway approach

  25. We can improve the noise climate NOW Inset thresholds of 27L & 27R Measure arrival noise with penalties for poor performance Lower landing gear with maximum 7 miles to touch down Change continuous descents to constant rate descents with a minimum of 1000 ft/min Lower take-off noise limit 10 mile arc on radar screens

  26. Precise arrival paths and offset centre lines Respite achieved by regular changes to arrival routings Whole day alternation possible for some communities Reduced noise by better approach drag management Two stage steeper approaches We can improve the noise climate SOON

  27. No new communities need to be affected Deep landings possible particularly in the sensitive early morning period Respite can be provided. e.g. By alternating curved approaches By alternating centre lines By restricting capacity at certain times By segregating heavy/light traffic With the Heathrow Hub

  28. Modern runway approach

  29. Just a thought… A short extension to 27L • Could be used to provide further capacity • Could be used to eliminate Night Flights • Would permit deeper landings on both runways and reduce noise levels at certain times • Could provide spare capacity to improve resilience

  30. Summary • Capacity where it is most needed • Simple and quick and cost effective • Significantly improves the noise climate • Minimises land take and impact on local communities

  31. Craig Kreeger Chief Executive, Virgin Atlantic

  32. Björn Kjos Chief Executive, Norwegian Air Shuttle

  33. Low-cost longhaul will revolutionize the travel- and tourism industry Bjørn Kjos, CEO Europe’s best low-cost airline

  34. From bases in NORWAY From bases in SWEDEN DENMARK FINLAND From bases in the USA & THAILAND From the UK base From bases in SPAIN

  35. Norwegian a major player at London Gatwick • Established crew base in 2013 • 90 pilots and 170 cabin crew members • 4 aircraft based at LGW today/6 from summer 2014 • 320 weekly flights and 25 routes operating to and from LGW today • 375 weekly flights to and 35 routes operating from LGW in summer 2014 • Will carry more than 3 million passengers in 2014

  36. Why Gatwick?

  37. The start of a LCC revolution– many more carriers will follow

  38. Norwegian becomes the first “global” airline

  39. The competition will be global “ It (Chinese tourism) might be the biggest . phenomenon to hit the global travel industry since the invention of commercial flight –

  40. Thank you very much for your attention! Europe’s best low-cost airline

  45. Achieving cross-party agreement and delivery Dr Nelson Ogunshakin OBE ACE Chief Executive Officer & NIPSEF – Industry Co-Chair

  46. Introduction • NIPSEF Strategic Position • The need for Cross-Political Party Support • NIP, Airports & Airports Commission • NIPSEF Role to secure – Cross Party & Effective Delivery
