Our investigation
The London Assembly's Transport Committee has launched an investigation into airport capacity in London, and calling for the views of Londoners, including aviation experts, business leaders, environmentalists, to submit evidence.

The investigation aims to: 

• Examine the arguments for and against changing existing airport capacity in London including analysing current capacity and current and future estimates of demand for air travel;
• Explore the different options for addressing airport capacity in the short, medium and long-term including the scope for more rational use of existing airport capacity; and
• Set out findings in a written submission to the Government’s independent airports commission, chaired by Sir Howard Davies, by May 2013.
