Gatwick Airport announces second runway plan

[mhm]

Gatwick Airport has announced its preferred location for a second runway.

The airport has revealed details of its final submission to the Davies Commission, which is looking at raising airport capacity.

Chief executive Stewart Wingate said the airport wanted a second runway to be positioned south of the existing airport.

He said there was a "robust and compelling case" for going ahead with the plans.

Mr Wingate said building an extra runway at Gatwick could be privately financed and was "the best and most deliverable solution".
