Heathrow Airport's $19 Billion Expansion Plan
Vložit

- London is commonly considered one of the financial capitals of the world, with a lot of banking and light regulations. It also has grown to become a major aviation hub. London’s main airport, Heathrow International Airport has grown to see roughly 80 million annual passengers, and features 4 massive terminals. Despite its large size, Heathrow has long had major congestion problems, limited space to expand, and some of the highest landing slot costs which have negatively affected the airport. An all new massive plan to expand Heathrow has surfaced recently, and it claims to help alleviate the problems Heathrow currently has. This is Heathrow’s $19 billion expansion plan!

Question of the Day - What do you think of Heathrow Airport's Expansion Plan?
they have been studying the third runway for literally 40 years, depending which political party is in power. sometimes they support it , sometimes they don't . The NIMBY's will always come to protest and i am skeptical it will ever happen.
Heathrow definitely needs more runways. An airport this busy that only had two runways, no wonder the landing slot costs are so high.
This will take at least another 30 years to complete.
Wow! Nice airport! I love London! Great video as always Jonesrmj! 👍
Thank you and Thanks For Watching!
Did they start the airport expansion
I think they need both 3 runways at Heathrow and 2 at Gatwick plus a highspeed railway link between the two. Or at least they used to need that before the pandemic and Brexic mess. Now I am not so sure until the aircraft industry is back on its feets. Johan.
I think Heathrow Airport should consider a dual runway layout a la Paris CDG, with the existing runways gaining a runway by their side. In return for this, Heathrow Airport could propose a harsher but segmented curfew. The CDG layout allows for faster turnaround of planes. With this, Heathrow Airport could argue for support by not needing to take extra space by the third runway and T6 proposal. It could even propose to demolish T4, by keeping it between the 4 runways. In the longer term, have Terminal 5 move backwards, while they can rebuild a T3 opposite T2 where the maintenance is.
They will have to think long term. They need to restrict the size of aircraft to favor bigger aircraft, to allow for closer wake separation. For example, min size MAX 10 and A321s.
That doesn’t sound like a bad idea. I’m sure there’s a reason why they didn’t do that though.
@@jonesrmj Gatwick.
CDG has by far the most efficient runway operations in Western Europe: two pairs of runways with a huge space in-between. It allows for up to quadruple parallel approaches and double parallel take-offs (soon upgrading to quad departures). During peak hours the conga-lines are well spaced and everything runs smoothly. Plus the runways at CDG, contrary to LHR, are tangent to the city center and most of the SID's and STAR's avoid the densely populated areas and do not mess with ORY and Le Bourget other Paris airports. And they have plenty of space to build another huge terminal without expanding the airport's current footprint.
LHR will always be plagued by congestion and curfew: it is crammed into a populated area with West bound runways pointing directly at London city center.
Also with Brexit, London lost its European leading place in trading, Amsterdam passed in front and Paris and Frankfurt just behind in worldwide trading.
So the only 2 top European airports with real expansion possibilities are CDG and FRA, CDG already being the second busiest in Europe just behind LHR but with way more leeway for growth in passenger numbers, aircraft movements and terminal real-estate.
That's the reason why FedEx announced a huge expansion of its CDG cargo hub.
They should have added a runway each to the north and south of the existing runways.
I like the expansion
For that money you could probably build a whole new airport and have 2 major hubs, but who am I? 3 if you count Gatwick.
heathrow is a brand with worldwide recognition though, not to mention the existing mass transit links which are also big $$$
Can anyone comment on the expansion of the London airports and for the north of England to be connected to these airports? The future could involve closing most airports in the UK and using HSTs to connect to key hub airports like Heathrow! That is my understanding of why HS2 is being built?
I think that Gatwick should actually should expand
Gatwick definitely has more room to expand but Heathrow is the much busier airport in the area.
@@jonesrmj yeah, but Heathrow is basically surrounded by neighbourhood, so if third runway would be built, the people living there would be pissed, so i think expanding Gatwick Airport would be a logical option and connected both airports with high speed train or another option is to build a new airport entirely.
@@DarthMalgusSith_Lord connecting them with a railway seems like a good idea but considering how expensive hs2 (originally planned to cost £56bn in 2015 before nearly doubling to £106bn and trains only beginning to run in 2040)will be be, i dont think a railway is a good idea. Since London’s suburbs stretch very far from the city, just as many houses would have to be bulldozed/tunnelled under. Gatwick does not have nearly as much connections to the city as Heathrow does. Also gatwick already has a second runway that cannot function because it is too close to the other one, so a completely new runway is not necessary.
Looks good. Like very much. Houston and LAX should look at this design and follow.
I don’t think they are going to, especially LAX which barely has any room for a Sattelite concourse design layout.
IAH and LAX are stuck with antiquated layouts designed in the 1960's. The best design for a large hub is the one at ATL and DEN. London was smart and started to revamp its facility along the lines of ATL. LAX should have torn down the bases at the airports west side a slowly started to do what Heathrow did rebuilding piecemeal towards the east.
@@JuanGarcia-vb3du Yeah, I said I agree. I was saying that LAX doesn't have enough space to expand for a satellite concourse layout like DEN or ATL, It would have to demolish everything and start over.
Too little too late, I'm afraid. Better to look for another airport like they did with Gatwick.
NOT going to happen because LHR is a political football. Really the UK should find a place for a complete new airport and build it from the ground up to have 5 or 6 runways and at least 6-8 terminal buildings. Unless they do that there will never be a fully functional UK International Hub.
The problem is that because London is so developed, there isn't really much room to build another massive airport unless you go really far outside the city.
@@jonesrmj Unless they do that now, There will always be a problem.
It looks like the airport in Atlanta
Did they start expansion @jonesrmj
No I don’t think so.
Just build another in the middle of Uk or open Bournemouth up
19 BILLION DOLLARS???!!!!
Well technically £14.3 billion which converts to around $19 billion.
that seems overpriced for an airport!
I thought the same thing at first, but when you really look at everything this project will do, it’s a lot!
And then you see hs2...
The UK is corrupt so I expect no less than for contracts to go to friends for billions of pounds
@TheRenaissanceman65 what about the covid app? literally what he described
Hey Jonesrmj
Hey!
The worst airport in Europe to connect through. Amsterdam Schiphol all the way!
I've never been there, but I've herd mixed things about that airport.
