He said: "We have to plan for both eventualities. So we need to plan if Heathrow doesn’t get expansion and then it might lose its hub status, we have to plan for that. "I think [the effect on the local economy] will be severe, all the predictions are it will be severe, but we need to plan for that. At the same time, we need to plan for if the Davies Commission says ‘yes’ – they may say Heathrow and Gatwick - it could be a hybrid of that, but whatever the decision for or against we’ve got to be ready and we’ve got to plan for that." |
