Summary Sally Bently, a local travel agent, lives under the flight-path of Stansted airport, the base for the new generation of budget airlines, and they can't schedule flights fast enough. In a year, the number of passengers using Stansted has gone up by a third to 11 million. On current trends, airline passengers are set to double in Britain by 2015. To cope, massive airport expansion would be needed, especially in the South-east of England. The business lobby says that it is vital to ensure the continuing growth of the economy, but environmentalists say the building, noise and pollution would be utterly unacceptable. Crunch time is rapidly approaching
