He's talking about the proposal to add a third runway at Heathrow Airport vs adding new runway capacity to other London airports. It's been a big topic in London for the past couple years. Personally, I'm against adding to to Heathrow as the Heathrow airport uses due east/west runways (planes mostly fly west when landing) and they positioned Heathrow itself due west of London. Which means plane landing patterns affect a local maximum number of people (including me). [If you need east/west runways for the given wind conditions, I'd have thought it makes sense to put the airport either north or south of the centroid of population density, but this was done long ago now] I'd prefer to see an extra runway at Gatwick where number of affected people is much smaller)
