Heathrow and Gatwick airports have spent £1.7m and £1.6m respectively on their runway expansion advertising campaigns across the London transport network. This information was received in written answers received by London Assembly Member Darren Johnson to questions submitted to the Mayor of London.
Darren Johnson said:
“I’m not surprised that Heathrow and Gatwick Airports have spent millions on ads on buses, tubes and trains. The grim reality of aviation expansion will be more noise, pollution and traffic hell for Londoners. As well as the acceleration of climate change which is the biggest threat to our economy. You need a big budget to paper over those huge cracks in your argument.”
“The best option for London would be no further expansion, a view with the facts rather than a multi-million pound budget on its side.”
