What the petition asks
Foster said
‘the evidence presented in the four reports makes a clear and compelling case that a new hub airport in the inner thames estuary is both credible, deliverable and has no identifiable showstoppers, and should therefore be added to the commission’s shortlist.’
Airports Commission Chair Sir Howard Davies said:
There will be those who argue that the commission lacks ambition and imagination. We are ambitious for the right solution. The need for additional capacity is urgent. We need to focus on solutions which are deliverable, affordable, and set the right balance for the future of aviation in the UK.
