Thames airport misses the point about need for expanded hub airport for London
August 4, 2009
£40bn Thames airport 'would be ready in just 10 years' | www.thisislondon.co.uk
London's Mayor opposes the expansion of Heathrow airport and instead proposes a new airport in the Thames estuary. It is claimed the airport could be open in 10 yrs and cost £40bn. However, the initial proposal is for a one or two runway airport that would eventually be extended as demand increases. However, what London needs is a large 3-4 runway hub airport now - two airport hubs don't work and London already has 5 airports.

An early practitioner of nudge economics goes a step to far?

Ryanair - Boldly Charging Where No One Else Does! | www.independent.co.uk
Ryanair has been at the forefront of using behavioral economics to get people to make decisions which help to drive down costs to the benefit of both the airline and its customers. By charging customers for checking in at the airport and having hold luggage it has successfuly persuaded people to check in online and to take hand luggage only while still allowing passengers who want to check in at the airport and to take hold luggage if they want to. Its new policy of charging explicitly for on-line checking in is a completely tactic that appears soley aimed at raising revenue rather than changing customers' behaviours.
