Not very much new that isn't known already. The PAX operation is the main area holding back the company and they seem to be holding out for a London route to reappear but not via FR. They may wait a long time and who knows exactly what the Heathrow Hub initiative will look like. The FBO and military / tech / maintenance/ training side of things look sustainable and profitable with possibly the cargo side of the business and the property rentals so this should form the core of the business moving forward. Ditch the PAX and use the terminal for a new museum of aviation for Scotland alongside the Spaceport which I do believe will happen. This would generate more paying punters through the terminal doors than there are PAX at present. If PAX are warranted ( and profitable) in the future then a small functional terminal could easily be built to accommodate the needs of the present 700k+ PAX. However with GLA under increasing pressure from EDI then expect more pressure on PIK's present services
