Telegraph graphic showing forecasts for economic benefits from new runways at Heathrow and Gatwick

Heathrow vs Gatwick

Claim made by: Airport Commission, chaired by Sir Howard Davies
Location: Telegraph, Guardian, Financial Times
Spotted on: 2014-11-12

That new a runway at Heathrow would provide greater economic benefit than one at Gatwick

Update 2014-11-26

The Commission Secreteriat responded by directing me to the technical analysis behind their consultation, which includes information on how the economic benefits of new runways were calculated, and sets out how they dealt with uncertainty in the forecasts. I've uploaded one of the documents they referred to, I'm now looking for help analysing these figures from independent transport researchers.
