The billionaire boss of the JCB Digger Empire has called StanStead to become the leading airport of Great Britain to move flights away from Central London.
Because plans are set for an expansion of Heathrow airport, Anthony Bamford is of the opinion that planes should not fly over central London.
Rachel Reeves has put the building of a third Heathrow landing track in the heart of her plan to stimulate the economy in the midst of Flatline Growth after her budget.
It comes when last week, a tragic plane crash in Washington DC, all 67 people involved killed people, while an air ambulance crash in Philadelphia ended in the loss of seven lives.
American Airlines Flight 5342 had Reagan Washington National Airport on January 29 shortly before 9 p.m. and approaches when the crash took place with a Black Hawk helicopter.
There were no survivors on both flights, and from Tuesday all 67 bodies have now been taken out of the water.
Only two days later Learjet 55 aircraft left for Noordoost-Philadelphia airport and traveled to Springfield-Branson National Airport before it lost control shortly after taking off.
The air ambulance with six people, including a young girl, crashed deadly in a residential area of ​​Philadelphia with one person on the floor.

In a letter to the Telegraph, Mr Bamford wondered whether capital cities should let commercial aircraft fly directly over city centers or city suburbs of their approach to or starting international airports.
“If it happened in Washington DC, and two days later in a residential area in Philadelphia, couldn't it happen in London?” He wrote.
He also called on Stansted to make the 'most important international gateway airport' that serves London, instead of Heathrow to move Commercial planes away from the populated city center and the suburbs.
Mr Bamford added: 'This will probably require a number of supporting infrastructure development, such as a second runway at Stansted and improved ties with public transport to the city, but that can all be worked out in the fullness of time. And if Heathrow would ever have to stop working as an airport, there would be a site of 3000 hectares in West London that can be redeveloped for much needed homes in southeastern England. '
Chancellor Rachel Reeves used a major speech last Wednesday to set the expansion of Heathrow in the center of her new economic growth plan.
The Chancellor claimed that an expansion of the West -London site was' desperately needed 'because' growth has been limited 'for decades'. The government has asked the airport to submit an application by June, although it is probably years before a runway would be operational.

Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan van London has emerged as the oldest open opponent of the expansion of Heathrow.
The Labor politician promised to 'block a third runway with each tool in the toolkit'.
Sir Sadiq said he is stopping the extension of the Heathrow because of its impact on noise, air pollution and achieving the goals of climate change in the UK.
He added the last plans for a third runway in Heathrow included building a tunnel under the M25 fast road and a village of Bulldoz.
Downing Street has refused to confirm whether there must be a Common's voice to give the green light.
