Proceeding contribution from David Wilshire (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on Heathrow.

Heathrow

I am coming to the fact that Heathrow’s competition is already doing damage. Heathrow also has some lesser known problems. Some have already been mentioned tonight. The airport is losing routes—down from 230 to 180. By comparison, the competitors which my hon. Friend is concerned about are gaining routes and passengers. If Heathrow loses its transfer passengers, as some suggest it will, it will lose even more routes and become less viable.
