More passengers fly in and out of London than any other city in the world. We are well-connected, we have ample capacity, and we are starting from a position of strength. The problem is that we don't use that capacity well.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Huge numbers of people in London depend on their cars. Fuel duty is becoming a big factor in people's cost of living. I believe in trying to ease these burdens.
I don't miss London much. I find it crowded, vast and difficult to get around. Cabs are incredibly expensive.
I travel continuously, and I see many cities, but there is nowhere like London.
Cities depend on a healthy mix of uses and people for their vitality. As a pre-eminent world city, London is a magnet to people from across the globe.
A lot of airlines have come and gone.
Airlines go in the long run at the competition to reason. For the passenger the competition is good, because each competitor tries to undercut the other one.
I feel like all Londoners relate more to New York - L.A. doesn't feel like a 'city' city. It's like a sleepy town.
If anyone wonders why the airlines are not doing well it is because flying has been made such an unpleasant and degrading experience.
The objective is to do things well in London.
I know the British people and they are not passengers - they are drivers.
