Heathrow is also facing competition for traffic from major hubs further afield, notably Dubai which is set to take over the mantle as the world's largest international airport by 2016. A number of senior figures in the aviation industry have urged the Government to rethink its policy on Heathrow, including Willie Walsh, the head of the International Airlines Group. British Airways' parent company. Others to join the chorus in recent weeks have included James Hogan, the chief executive of Etihad, which wants to increase its three daily services into the airport to five. In a recent interview with The Daily Telegraph, he said that Heathrow would not be able to compete unless it opens another runway - a policy which is now opposed by all three major parties.
