The trouble with VVIP though is the amount of money it generated for the airport, a couple of G650s sitting on a stand all day vs one being used 7 / 8 times by a A320.
BTW Northolt runway now to be closed July to November/December, will it be OXD, FAB or Luton who picks all that traffic up?
Perhaps SEN may even pick up the odd crumb!! What do you think?
