Where would a new runway deliver the mosteconomic growth with the least environmental impact?

A new runway at Gatwick could be ready by 2025, allowing the economic benefits of a better connected Britain to be felt by everyone, faster. With a fraction of the environmental impact of a new runway at Heathrow, it’s an obvious choice.

INTRODUCTIONS

On behalf of RBS, the Gatwick Diamond Initiative and all the sponsors and supporters that have helped to make today’s event possible, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to you all. This is the second Gatwick Diamond Economic Growth Forum and hopefully it will prove to be both informative and thought provoking, as we discuss the key drivers and issues that will shape the economic future for our region.

A key feature of these discussions will be the role played by Gatwick Airport, with or without a second runway. There are clearly benefits of a second runway to the local economy in terms of both business travel and job creation both at the airport and in support services, but we should also consider the negative impacts. We will hear from Stewart Wingate,

CEO of London Gatwick Airport and get his perspectives on the role of the airport in the Gatwick Diamond economy and he will share his thoughts on both the opportunities and the challenges for continued business growth.

We will also get the opportunity to hear from Sir Terry Farrell about the importance of planning for a bigger economy in the Gatwick Diamond. A successful and thriving local economy requires an appropriate infrastructure, transport network and availability of relevant skills – all important building blocks in developing long term sustainable growth in the local economy.

Thank you once again for taking the time to join us for this event and we look forward to your participation in the debate.

It is another year until the Airports Commission makes its recommendation on where the UK should build its next runway. London Gatwick believes that expansion at Gatwick is the obvious solution. Expanding Gatwick creates the market that works for all passengers A two-runway Gatwick in competition with a two-runway Heathrow will encourage greater competition, spur innovation, drive greater cost efficiencies and result in lower fares for passengers. The alternative is returning to a market with one dominant player where passengers will end up paying more for less choice and less convenience. Expanding Gatwick will deliver greater economic benefits for the whole of the UK Expansion at Gatwick will deliver an overall economic benefit to the UK of around £40 billion more than expansion at Heathrow and at no additional cost or risk to the taxpayer. Expansion at Gatwick would attract new businesses creating an additional 120,000 jobs across London and the South East. Only expansion at Gatwick will help maintain Britain’s leading position in the global race The Gatwick proposal is best

placed to align with future aviation

trends - including continued market share gains by Low Cost Carriers, the spread of new

technology hub-busting aircraft, and the rapid rise of new hubs in the Middle East and Far East. Such trends confirm that a single dominant hub is not the best solution for the UK’s future needs. Only Gatwick can support growth of all airline models– full service, low-cost and charter – with affordable charges and facilities that enable efficient aircraft turnaround times. Building at Heathrow excludes the low-cost business model. Only Gatwick is the deliverable option Gatwick’s second runway is a straightforward construction project, building on land already set aside for runway expansion. Unlike Heathrow, it doesn’t involve putting the busiest stretch of the busiest motorway in Europe into a tunnel, which would cost the UK in excess of £1bn in disruption. The lower construction risk means a second runway at Gatwick could be built for £7.8 billion – considerably less than the cost of a new runway at Heathrow. This would result in airport charges that would be around a third of the price of Heathrow’s and an operational second runway by 2025. Many fewer homes will be under the flight path than at Heathrow but Gatwick has introduced Europe’s most progressive noise insulation scheme. If a second runway is built, Gatwick will also compensate those most affected with an offer of £1,000 per annum towards their Council Tax. The many planning, environmental, surface access and political difficulties associated with Heathrow means there is considerable doubt whether another runway would ever get built – giving the Gatwick option much greater certainty.

London Gatwick is the obvious solution to the UK’s connectivity needs for the next generation
