Just is it who is resonsible for this failure. Senior Managers? the Airport Board ? Actually come to think of it who is it that sits on the Board - is it a mixture of the business stakeholders (McQuarie ?) and local Councillors (God forbid). Does anyone out there know ?
I've heard it said that working at BHX is like working for a poor local authority, I don't know whether that's true...but in it's strategy (lack of it, it seems) it does seems to reflect some of the drift and lack of focus and proactivity that you see in some town halls. Or am I being unfair.
I do recall some local politicians not being fully supportive of the airport also, I remember a couple of years back one in particular saying that a proportion of flights should be moved to CVT which could be developed. I hope he isn't an influencer at BHX.
He seems to have got his way though.
