The Government's decision to go for the Heathrow option rather than Gatwick has produced plenty of comment on Twitter.

There’s a great deal of support for the Heathrow option, but many people still think Gatwick will ultimately end up with a second runway.

“How quickly will we see any development at #Heathrow or #Gatwick - great news a decision made but surely both will happen.”

“It’s immediately apparent to most people that #Heathrow is far more accessible to most of the UK than #Gatwick. Common sense prevails!”

“#Heathrow announcement welcomed and I fully support airport expansion ideally at #Gatwick in the future too.”

“I remain optimistic #Gatwick will get the runway it needs to grow and thrive, #Heathrow is only the first step of UK airport expansion.”
