CITY VIEWS | DO YOU THINK LONDON’S AIRPORTS ARE READY FOR THE OLYMPICS?

I don’t think so. The airports could be end up being a let down and embarrassment this summer. But I have hope in the aviation authorities that they could still do something about it in the 50 or so days to go before the Olympics. What is really bothering me is transport within London!

Yes, I don’t see why not. They must have been planning for years, and I think the airports are ready to deal with the extra workload, it shouldn’t be a problem. If the other Olympic hosting countries have been able to deal with it, then we can deal with it too.

No, probably not. It will be a serious challenge to deal with 12m passengers coming from outside the UK for the Olympics this summer. The airports really are not geared up to the capacity, and it’s probably far too late to do anything about it now.
