6. Why will airlines suddenly take an
interest in Lydd Airport when the

“Growth within Greater London is
unacceptable. Runway expansion is
unacceptable at Heathrow and City, as a
consequence of the localized environmental
impacts that would result. A third runway at
Heathrow is strongly opposed by the Mayor.”

11. Passenger View (Sara)
Pro expansion view: Passengers outside the catchment area e.g. London will
be willing to use Lydd airport for air travel in order to use budget airlines
such as Ryanair- Ryanair has history of £10 return flights (excluding taxes) and
so people will be willing to travel to Kent in order to catch such bargain
flights.
