A "superhub" airport with four runways could be built in the home counties or west London under plans drawn up for Heathrow bosses.
The blueprint includes options for a huge new airport close to Maidenhead or Oxford, or doubling the number of runways at Heathrow, to handle 140 million passengers a year.
It was seized on by aviation experts as giving the first detailed insight into Heathrow's thinking about airport expansion in the South-East.
A document called Heathrow 2025, Masterplan Options & Indicative Layouts, obtained by Aviation Week industry information service, outlines 10 options. They include plans for a four-runway airport at White Waltham in Berkshire, near Maidenhead and Bracknell, or at Haddenham in Aylesbury Vale, Buckinghamshire, about 15 miles from Oxford.

They really need to get out of the Heathrow/S/SE mindset and build it in the centre of the country.
I could agree with that Tom. There are already enough airports feeding London.
