The 'war of words' over London's new runway continues between Gatwick & Heathrow, with Gatwick claiming that new designs that it has commissioned will enable it to be the world's most efficient two runway airport.
Gatwick says that the designs by 2025 could deliver:
- self-service bag drops and electronic security gates that will eliminate queues
- passengers will reach boarding gates just 30 minutes after arriving at the airport
- Gatwick will match the world’s quickest aircraft turnaround times
- exceptionally short taxiing times reducing operating costs and engine emissions
- push back to take off will be just seven minutes (compared to 45 minutes at a more complex and sprawling three runway Heathrow)
- passengers will connect with flights leaving from different terminals in just 45 minutes, compared to 105 at Heathrow
- connection times from the same terminal at Gatwick will be just 30 minutes
