Book Synopsis

What factors shaped the airports policy of the busiest aviation city in the world? What has been the role of politicians, planners and communities? Why has it proved so difficult to make a decision on airports and stick to it?

Inside London''s Airports Policy is the first book to provide a complete history of London''s airport policy, considering whether we can make better decisions if we learn from the lessons of history. Based on the author''s extensive industry experience, and detailed research of key documents, public records and academic papers, plus interviews with key individuals, the book sets out the studies, consultations, inquiries, commissions and debates that have directed London''s Airport policy on the troubled flight path which it has taken.

The book covers in detail a period from the mid-1970s, when the Maplin project was cancelled, to the present day. Along the way, there are periods of incremental growth with new terminals at Heathrow, Gatwick
