Indicative phased capacity

Thames Reach Airport can be phased to follow the demand with sufficient redundancy for reliable operations:

• A new 2 runway airport can offer sufficient capacity to move the London hub airport in 10 years from Heathrow to the Isle of Grain, with spare capacity due to more flexible operations.
• A further runway provides additional capacity up to 2050, together with reduction of overall demand by AirRail substitution.
• A possible fourth runway will secure efficient operations for the future.
