Wait, what? This doesn't follow at all. And expanding LHR will naturally increase the amount of ground traffic, including diesels?
Not if old diesel busses are banned in greater West London? I too can add a question mark at the end of a non-question? Wow?
>economic contraction is likely to hit demand for air travel.
Economic contraction, government deregulation/tax cuts, decreased pricing, increase demand. Economic systems don't stop after the first step.
>one plane landing every 5 minutes 12 hours a day is how much additional CO2 emissions?
Misconception. Airplanes are pretty much idling during landing, especially with recent regulations calling for steeper approaches for A380. Extra runway = more throughput = less time spent taxiing = decreased emissions on ground per flight.
LHR aims average of every 2 mins.
