Why expand Heath Row and not Gatwick?

I listen to the BBC World Service quite a bit and I know of the desire
to build another runway.

American Airlines recently switched, or is switching, all their flights
from Gatwick to airport at Heath Row.

Would any Britons in the group tell me why there should be a
concentration there, as opposed to expanding Gatwick or one of the
others? If the trouble is making connecting flights they should look
at improving the 90 minute bus ride between the airports.

Thanks,
