I would introduce a long term plan to move Heathrow Airport to a new location further out of London, along the lines of the plan to build a new airport on the Thames Estuary. The new airport would be larger than Heathrow, have multiple runways and cater for the expected future growth in air travel, similar to the new Hong Kong and Dubai airports. There would be rapid transport links to central London. Availabiliy of landing slots and charges would be linked to efficiency of aircraft.
This would be paid for by selling off the land that the current airport is sat on.
