Heathrow Expansion - The Preferred Masterplan 

Still better than BER

Still better then LGA as it currently is

BER should've opened 12(!) years ago. Nowadays it is said that the new airport will open in 2021 but I don't believe it will open before 2025. That's a delay of ALMOST 20 YEARS!

@@yellowsnow1789 it would be funny if the expansion of the Leipzig/Halle Airport would be finished before BER xD

Given how long getting all the paperwork done alone will take, they won't be done by 2026

That’s just the simple things everything will be done until 2050

Yeah your right I'm saying 2028.

More like 2090

Your comment reminds me of those "We ended Racism" memes lol

Love that reference, Omar Baba new CEO of Heathrow!

God I’ve watched that show 10 times 😂

The Dillusionist omg that show is the best!🤣

I love the the runways are the green bits ECO FRIENDLY

@@Isaac-np2xp runways are grey in this...

Between the runway and taxi ways it is grass to reduce noise. So every thing that’s green is grass.

That’s what I was thinking. Do they think that by putting a bunch of green in the video we can’t tell that this is an urban development?

I mean what neighbour if they just got rid of them?

Come on, it's UK, not China

keiming227 Not all Chinese infrastructure programmes demolish your house rudely. Because some owners are of high status (e.g. some huge state-owned companies and universities) and local governments don’t want to bother them. In other cases, local government intentionally slows down the renewal progress for finding an excuse for justifying delay... admittedly, some aggressive Chinese local leaders (generally in less-developed areas) do use interim measures and seek for court’s prior approval to knock houses down...

Tenny Ho What they have in common : State-owned instead of private

Too right

Lmao *destroys two towns*

Nah, they didn't matter. We're being _great!_

Lmao

I died

Kaleb Yezihalem He means he laughed at it. -.-

i thought the same dude your having 75 or more % of the runway behind you and you still land xD

Extremo braking!!!!! Scrrreeeeeeeeech lol

It's a full on Airforceproud video - we've got people rotating off of aprons and landing 3 towns over.

Aircraft drifting into the exit of the runway while losing energy from the landing.

Only in certain areas and this is relatively simple to engineer.

there will more patrols and more devices will be put in place to disrupt nesting also more foxes will be put in place to a scare away birds and scare away food sources such as mice/rats

Plus foxes dont cause engine damage, they chop up in that pratt and whitney engine into fine sprays just fine 👌

No keeps them in a safe place so they dont drift off and fly around airport we have the same at Belfast city airport

Chris Green it’s birds and deer.

Not true actually. Airplanes are developing all the time. Also the landings are adjusted, so the airplanes will fly higher for longer and create less noise.

The thrid runway is further away from the living areas. It also helps to regulate the landing times. Right now, an airplane is landing to heathrow every thirty seconds. With the third runway the number will be reduced. The third runway will be lomger than the old ones, making possible for bigger airplanes to land at Heathrow.

And it’s not just a bit of grass. They’re developing multiple parks around Heathrow.

I think u are underestimating trees ability to decrease noise polution

Captain Obvious very underrated comment

LHR: did I stutter?

I was going to like but it had 69 likes so

45m passengers 2 terminal 1 runway (actually 2 but only 1 used due to close proximity)

Doge thanks

Jermaine Train Allen they’re not getting rid of them, they’re expanding them to different car parks

Wait what noooooo.it was my dream 😭😭😭😭😭

Dan Frisby So there’s still going to be them in Terminal 5, plus some in other terminals to?

@@danf7402 So they will still exist, but they will be diverted to another car park then?

NothingButGames Yes. They’ll be added to all of the terminals in attempts to lower pollution. Aka removing the bus services to each terminal.

This comment has not aged well

R/agedlikemilk

Hahahahaha Your funny Brexit will be completed when we hit the Andromeda Galaxy

well it’s already done, surprisingly 😂

Didn't age well

I would agree but the flight paths make it SO loud for many people living near the airport. I know that the planes don’t have a choice but I live directly in between two flight paths I could imagine trying to sleep when there constantly passing overhead every 40 seconds. If anything I think they should build like 4 or 5 runway airport on Borris island then build a fast transport link from central London. Borris island has tones of empty land so it wouldn’t disturb anyone.

Heathrow is the only airport we have that's actually in London (except City). In an ideal world it would be 24 hours and have 4 runways, this is the best we can do

@@mhfitness8029 How much would cost planning and building a new airport and upgrading local infrastructure to cope with new demand. You also need to connect the new "megaairport" to London via tube or railway. This would add more expenditure. Who is so daring to pay for a new airport (that I assume will be publicly funded via extra taxes) while the "plan A" is letting a private enterprise invest their money to expand an exlsting facility?

Milo Howden agreed. International Airports are gateway to the world. Not having a 24 hour airport severely limits some options for passengers particularly business class passengers and could be a huge conflicts if the destination airport also has curfew.

Flavio Nessuno I think the current Heathrow expansion plans great 👍 but saying that it should be a 24 hour airport would be torture to any locals like myself

Yeah but there were loads of protests

It will destroy an entire village

If it ended years ago, Heathrow would’ve either died down or an entire village would have been destroyed, it’s a good thing they’re rly thinking abt this

SomeDawidGuy Heathrow (like many airports have done) payed the owners of those houses 300% more than they are worth so they can go find somewhere else to live and it won’t be hard for them. It’s a good deal really.

@@Luke_05 I do kind of agree.

Haha

teehee

Exactly

Don’t worry, you still have until 2070 to update it

"They" being a spanish company that mismanages the airport at every opportunity. Reducing service quality. Cutting costs everywhere reducing security. They need the third runway to fly people in to the largest shopping mall in europe. Terminal 5

Do you know how much money it cost to do such a project. People like you just complain and dont think about the bigger picture. If you are so amazing why dont you open you own airport and see what the best you could do. Serious bore off

@@davidchannel3314 it's needed to help develop the country economically but it won't be able to develop without sufficient infrastructure.

MrWizard Exactly I think complainers are holding the UK back.

You lot need to live under the new flight path. You may have a different view. There has been no proof I've seen of the economic benefits, and I've been to all the consultations. The wording of questionnaires was deplorable, leaving you with 2 answers with the effect of 'what colour grey would you like?' answer? Very Light or Light. Towns like the one I live in now have never been consulted, yet will feel the effects horrendously. We have a good reason to complain. Our lives will be miserable after this.

2 villages

No one cares about the stupid villages. The inhabitants should be moved somewhere else. That's all.

Same my friend! Would love to explore the green spaces go book a flight and see the new terminal and runway.

A man has started expanded Heathrow in LEGO CITY LONDON!!! Start the new LHRExpander!!! *HEY* Build the expander!! And wreck the neighborhood!!! Then, build the third runway!!!!! The new Heathrow expansion collection by LEGOLONDON

Wow! What an original comment.

Most residents have lived in the area all their lives. Parents and grandparents lived here. Some move to the area because of work (not at airport). For many, it’s affordability. And how many can afford to be in London, near a place they work, but cannot afford to move out of the area. It’s not just about the money. Where to move to? How old are the people? Where do the work? Do they have children? There’s a lot more to it than selling your house for thrice the price. Great if you are single or a young couple. Maybe not so much if circumstances are different.

KiloOneThree they were offered twice to in some cases four times the value of their houses, which are worth anywhere between 250-450,000 pounds, which is more than enough to buy a house in an expensive are of london. Even if they’d lived there their whole lives, the airport was there first, only people who would be upwards of 80 would have been there their whole lives. And jobs? The money they were offered would easily get them a house AND a car or whatever. Plus the way the whole of London is connected means it’s cheap and very easy to get to almost anywhere, especially near such a massive infrastructure monument such as Heathrow. It is unreasonable the way these resident are acting. How much Heathrow airport contributes to the WHOLE country’s economy, and how much a third runway would increase that is so substantial I’m surprised the government didn’t just evict these people

Ryan M. Either you don’t live and work in London, or you do, but it is nowhere near/under a flight path, and you are in a well paid job and/or on a quick and easy path from to work and home by public transport. Or you work for one of the groups working on the expansion. London is not all connected, and it’s not “cheap and easy” to get everywhere. Tube, rail, bus travel can be sucky at the best of times, as can be car travel. Sounds like you are alright, but not everyone is as flush as you. And do you consider all those many more who live in the surrounding areas who would be affected, but are not in zones that were or will bought out. Add to that, even more thousands will be affected by noise who previously were not. Whilst I acknowledge that the expansion would overtime benefit the U.K. and reduce the number of delayed flights (personal experience), it’s easy to think about the greater good, if you are not directly impacted. How we are to become carbon neutral by 2050, I don’t know. Heathrow should buy out or just evict onto the streets, everyone and everything within a 10-15km radius, and make all this surrounding area a green zone. That would stop any future complaints, right? Edit: I’d love to the see how nice it would be to enjoy a green space near the airport, with low flying aircraft constantly overhead. Lovely picnic lol

KiloOneThree Actually if you go to Kew Gardens while runway 27 is active, you can experience firsthand how useless the green space near the airport is for any sort of leisure. Aircraft are flying 1500ft above your head every minute, might as well sell ear buds in the souvenir shop.

@@KiloOneThree Well they are the ones who chose to live near an airport. So they forfeit their right to complain.

What neighbourhoods? They’re gonna get demolished

probably just send the planes to gatwick

@@orchadia2410 they should do that now

@@dknowles60 They probably would have done that, but there's commuting issues and distance issues. Everybody's favourite Jay Foreman did a video which basically explained there's no good solution... and this was 5 years ago! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KXmpdJO9UOc.html

Make more use of the 5 airports of London and expand them as well

By that time London will be flooded if you believe in the climate change nonsense...

Underground runways... Nice.

You should be given a nobel prize

Always thought this. Rather than expand lhr why not move more traffic north 🤷‍♀️

Or Gatwick 🤷‍♂️

I strongly disagree. Firstly this is an area that is full and teeming with well built residential areas,farmland and regenerated moorland already. It is not a barren unlived in area What they wont talk about is that the area they plan on demolishing used to be a waste heap. It was so poisonious they actually have generators that reduce the toxicity of the earth there (this is harmondsworth moor im talking about) currently north of the airport on the left of the picture. This area was built as a result of collaboration between the council and the business park involved with the airport and is a perfect example of how to correctly regenerate an area. But we dont have councillors looking after us any more so this proposed "regeneration" looks far more aggeesive in comparison. Additionally the north side of the airport is home to HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people in west drayton hayes stockley uxbridge cowley and denham sipson and harmondsworth. These areas already suffer from high pollution being sandwiched in between the M25 and the M4 i live on the coast but when i visit my parents there within 3 days im coughing out black stuff from the pollution. Currently the north side does not experience noise pollution from the airport just from the motorways. I hope this wont ruin our environment there. Also the areas they plan on destroying include communities that existed BEFORE the airport was built. Some listed buildings are more than 800 years old but will be destroyed like the famous barn in harmondsworth. Many of my family members have worked in around and for the airport at times. Its the reason they moved to live there to work to help improve our communities. Their commitment is klnow rewardes with a runway less than 800 metres from their house. Heathrow can talk about the neccessity of expansion but they already have one of the largest and highest capacity airports in the world. This expansion is for rich bussiness and economic reasons not for the land or the people. Im not against industrial progress but i dont want to see our homes ruined. ER help us pls

Alex Rogers . It looks like you’re very passionate about this subject so copy it over to the consultation since sending it here won’t really help. Either way you haven’t convinced me. I just can’t justify not doing this project since it’s so important for the nation. Honestly if I lived in the area I would be exhilarated at the free regeneration and growth this would bring and of course the compensation money too. I hate to sound like a commie but at this point we all have to do something for the common good of the nation. To compete globally it’s the only way!

@@R3adybreck Its not like any of the infrastructure you mention is new? Heathrow has been there for over 60 years and the motorways have been there for coming on for 50. People move there knowing that there is an airport there and have known for years there have been plans to expand it. The flight paths for the new runway mirror that of the existing runways so the planes will be less than 1000m further north than they currently already fly.

eXAKR it did say ‘one of’ instead saying ‘the most sustainable airport hubs’

@@therealdave06 The villages may have been there before the airport, but the current residents almost certainly only appeared after the airport was built.

LOL Introducing the new LHRExpander truck Can WRECK the Neighborhood lol

They can also build a brand new large airport outside the urban area and not have as many residents impacted by enlarging Heathrow...

@@ronclark9724 Or we can do both. Expand Heathrow and the other airports together. If residents are worried you should move home. You don't have any rights when National Security and Infrastructure is at stake.

@@willcottam5725Money isn't the issue, it's my claustrophobia.

Circular runway.. And you expect that to work how exactly? Planes going around and around in circles? They would hit each other. Planes come into land at around 150-200MPH.. How are you going to expect them to be able to turn in a circle WHILST going that speed? Or how would they take off while going in a circle as turning would cause the speed to lower? Physics doesn't work like that my friend. That's like having a roundabout and trying to land a plane on it, it won't work, especially with several planes on it at several different speeds that would just be a crash fest waiting to happen...

@@charliemccameron4812 I hope your not doubting my qualification to suggest a circular runway. I have watched most of a RU-vid video that explains just what an amazing idea this is and how it will solve many problems that the author said exist. It's on the internet, so it can't be a bad idea.

Ryan I know I work in there, I’m used to have 30 min taxi because we have 20 planes ahead. But is funny to see how an entire terminal is abandoned and there are no plans at all for that terminal. Expanding but not using the existent one.

Terminal 1 isn’t empty, there is a brand new baggage system that’s been built in the old departure lounge area that connects the new terminal 2 system to the old terminal 1 system for improved screening facilities and transfer capability, so very it is very much in use.

that is 2226, by then the USS Enterprise 1701-D will be built..

yeah but Gatwick and especially Stansted are too far out to be "convenient" for a lot of people and the transport links are nowhere near as good. Heathrow is the airport in most demand because of the location.

Solution = nationalise the railways. Including crossrail and hs2 then it wont cost 300 quid to get a train to manchester

@@MissVickixoxo I agree with your comments regarding LGW and STN transport links. But I believe any expansion plans at any site would require upgrading of transport links as well. At least one thing good regarding LHR is that crossrail is completing (eventually).

FR tho Newark is one of the most poorly designed airports in the US, and it either needs to be HEAVILY revamped or just discarded entirely. If Newark were to have a decent expansion plan it would actually bring substantial benefits to the airport and its travelers.
