Heathrow Hub

The independent Heathrow third runway scheme (although it claims not to be so – just an extension of what already exists), called Heathrow Hub, has received a significant double boost in its campaign to be selected by the UK government as the best solution to the UK’s aviation capacity challenge.
 
The project, led by Jock Lowe, a former British Airways Executive Director and Concorde captain, has scored a decisive legal victory regarding a patent first lodged in the US by Daniel Gellert.
 
Mr Gellert, a retired American airline captain, alleged that the UK patent originating from his US patent would be infringed by Heathrow Hub’s proposal.  Heathrow Hub sought a declaration of non-infringement.
 
A ruling from the Intellectual Property Office has stated that Heathrow Hub’s proposal would not infringe Mr Gellert’s patent.
 
Separately, Heathrow Hub has received commitments of additional financial backing from a consortium of City investors in recent days. www.heathrowhub.com
