Boris hires consultants on hub airport

摘要

London mayor Boris Johnson is to ask a team of consultants to look in detail at three proposals for a hub airport to the east of London to replace Heathrow. Speaking to the transport select committee this week, Johnson said he was looking closely at plans for a hub airport in the outer Thames Estuary (dubbed Boris Island); the inner Thames Estuary; and an expansion of Stansted airport, and would select a favoured option by "early next year".
