Gatwick Airport is due to announce its preferred location for a second runway later.


The airport will reveal the details of its final submission to the Davies Commission, which is looking at raising airport capacity.


Gatwick will set out its proposals for a "constellation of three London airports" with two runways each.


The airport has said competition between it, Heathrow and Stansted was "the best solution for London".


Mayor Boris Johnson's three proposals to the commission include a four-runway hub on an artificial island in the Thames Estuary, previously dubbed Boris Island.


He also proposed a hub on the Isle of Grain in Kent or expanding Stansted.


Heathrow has proposed three options for a new runway in West London and Surrey.


Gatwick has engaged architect Sir Terry Farrell to design its plans.
