Final offers for Gatwick airport have been taken amid growing speculation that bidders will seek to develop a second runway at the site. The bidding process closed on 27th April 2009. The three main bidders are Manchester Airport Group, Global Infrastructure Partners and Lysander Group. Any potential scheme for a new runway is likely to be vigorously opposed by local residents and environmentalists. Labour stated in the 2003 Air Transport White Paper the case for a second runway at Gatwick was insufficient ruling out any development until 2019. Conservatives are also skeptical about the idea. It is estimated that the airport will sell for around £1.4 billion.
