Terry Farrell said the expansion of Gatwick is the 鈥渙nly deliverable option鈥� after the publication of the long-awaited report by the Davies Commission on airport expansion in the UK.

Farrell, who is behind the plans to rebuild Gatwick with two runways, made the comments after the Davies Commission endorsed rival airport Heathrow as the preferred choice for expansion. Davies didn鈥檛 entirely rule out Gatwick, concluding it remained a 鈥渃redible鈥� option.

Speaking about the report, the culminatiomn of three years鈥� work to analyse the best option for airport expansion in the south-east, Farrell said: 鈥淓xpansion at Gatwick is the only deliverable option, and today鈥檚 report confirms that.

鈥淥ur proposals have consistently shown that a second runway at Gatwick will provide a much more balanced system of infrastructure, positively affecting the whole of the UK. I remain confident that expansion at Gatwick will be chosen as the way forward.鈥�
