FROM GATWICK: Page Gatwick Airport (IATA: LGW, ICAO: EGKK) is London's second largest airport and the second busiest airport in the UK after Heathrow, busiest single runway airport and sixth busiest airport in the world in terms of passengers per year. It is located between Horley in Surrey and Crawley in West Sussex, approximately 40 km (25 miles) south of London, and 40 km north of Brighton.[It should be noted that between August 17th and 18th a second runway was added to the Wikipedia Gatwick web page. This is the August 18th page with two runways and This is the August 17th page with one runway. This change was made the day after the SDCRAA was corrected by another panel member on August 17th on the fact that Gatwick is a single runway airport. Gatwick handled over 32 million passengers in 2005]
FROM SAN DIEGO (SDIA) Page
San Diego International Airport (IATA: SAN, ICAO: KSAN), also known as Lindbergh Field, is located in San Diego, California.
San Diego International Airport is the busiest single-runway commercial airport in the world, with approximately 600 departures and arrivals carrying 40,000 passengers each day, and over 17 million passengers a year. The busiest single-runway airport in the world is technically London Gatwick Airport, this assertion however can be easily discarded given the taxiway that can shift to a runway if needed for maintenance of the main runway, an advantage [ The irrelevant portion of the last sentence have been struck through. This eliminates a purely political issue which attempts to justify the moving SDIA to MCAS Miramar. This move is unacceptable for many reasons stated by the military and others including the chair of the site selection committee in public forums and papers.]
