Clearly the rich don't think much about their carbon footprint.<br /><br />The departing New York-bound flight from London City is required to refuel at Shannon Airport because the short runway at London City cannot accommodate an A318 with full fuel. So yet again, it you have a wasteful flight which has to waste fuel to land and take-off. <br /><br />It also shows that London City Airport, are trying to squeeze more flights out of a site that is unfit for an airport.<br /><br />The airport is a misery for residents. People did not choose to live beside this airport, btu the airport is expanding beyong its original scope of 30,000 flights!<br /><br />Do please support the campaign to stop expansion - Fight the Flight is a residents campaign.<br /><br />http://londoncityairportfighttheflights.blogspot.com/2009/09/protest-against-new-york-flight-from.htmlAnonymoushttp://londoncityairportfighttheflights.blogspot.com/2009/09/protest-against-new-york-flight-from.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
