UP, UP AND AWAY

1. NEW DEPARTURES

   • T5 suppliers are partners who will work on future projects, they have an incentive to do a good job.
     • If something goes wrong later, there can be a debate about negligence, but not about which provider is at fault.
       • A higher priority, at least for now, is getting permission to build an additional runway at Stansted, London's third airport.
         • Success will surely point to a spin-off business that can build other large projects safely and cheaply.
