I'll back Skypartner's knowledge of the place - it won't be a successful passenger airport until BHX gets very busy and slots are no longer available between 0700-1000 and 1600-1900, and we are a...

I used to work at CVT and am still a regular visitor. I read G-RICH's posting and thought "common sense for a change!". Then I read Windswept's posting, and realised there really ARE some muppets...

Fair comment, Windswept. Let's hope that that is the case. I was looking at their parent's activities, viz:

I am wondering what a company, which is a "real-estate development company" (as per their website), would want to try and develop Coventry Airport. It looks like it just isn't possible to develop it....

Derelicte, I think you are a bit daft, not CVT's location. Baginton Aerodrome has been there a long time, and it was a toss up, many years ago, whether it was Elmdon or Baginton that got developed.

I think it could be argued that Coventry offers an additional runway in the region, one that, according to the White Paper, will be needed in years to come.

Right now there doesn't seem much...

Call100, I think you are missing one of the key points. A few years ago there was a discussion document sent out in advance of a white paper being issued. There were forecasts that in 30 years there...

Shlittlenellie, that was a a very reasonable and persuasive posting, and I accept much of what you write. In fact, I think you make a very fair argument. Please don't get me wrong: I am not having a...

You make a fair point, Fly-by-Night, and at least it contributes to the discussion, unlike another comment!

In fact I did not really qualify my position very well, but it takes a long time to...
