Ryanair urges UK to build 3 new runways
Ryanair CE Michael O'Leary has called on the UK govt to be "radical" and approve the construction of new runways at London's Gatwick, Heathrow and Stansted airports. O'Leary says that adding runways at all 3 locations would "finally resolve the runway capacity issue for the next 50 years, while ensuring [that] competition between airports delivers efficient facilities and prevents airlines and passengers being ripped off by gold-plated monopoly runways". The UK govt has yet to make a decision on where airport capacity can be added to serve the capital. The Airports Commission recommended that a new runway be built at Heathrow, rather than Gatwick, in its final report of July 2015. Ryanair meanwhile intends to add new routes from London Stansted to Strasbourg and from London Luton to Faro next summer. <br/>
