hey! You were just "warned" that decline is because of the Iran war. Obviously as soon as the war ends demand is going to increase exponentially. Don't you understand that means they definitely still need that extra runway.

@duckwhistle@mastodon.org.uk @SusiArnott@mastodon.green Yes, I also noticed this pejorative way the potential reduction in flights was reported. Yesterday we heard how the UK government plans to relax rules so that airlines can "cancel flights weeks in advance, without losing valuable take off and landing slots at busy airports, if they face fuel shortages this summer." I don't suppose it has occurred to them to encourage people to think about summer holiday options that don't involve flying?
