PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

They never use both runways, because they are right next to each other. The shorter one is only used if the main runway is not available. They are so close to each other, it would make very little difference to approach and departure paths.GDB2222 said:Gatwick has two runways, although normally only the southern one is used.

The chances of that are close to zero, it was already rejected in favour or the 3rd runway at LHR.GDB2222 said:

"By using new technologies on Gatwick’s Main Runway and innovative proposals to bring the existing Northern Runway into routine use, Gatwick’s Master Plan offers an agile and low-impact way of unlocking new capacity and increased resilience from within the airport’s existing infrastructure."NameUnavailable said:TadleyBaggie said:

Who'd have thought that an airport owner would be looking for ways of utilising an existing runway to increase capacity at almost zero cost?
