New figures reveal an Estuary airport would provide thousands more jobs than any other option as loc

26-Aug-2014 New figures released today (26 August) indicate that having a new airport in the Thames Estuary would support 336,000 jobs around the country in 2050, around a third more than an expanded Heathrow and more than five times as many jobs as an expanded Gatwick airport would provide. The new figures were released on the day that a Chamber of Commerce survey found that the proposal to build a new airport in the Estuary is strongly supported by the Kent business community.
