Buster has hit the nail on the head and is asking a question that everyone is ignoring. LLAL is already borrowing £225m for the DART. A DART extension plus basically a new airport linked to the existing runway will cost at least a £1bn. This is not a large PLC borrowing the money and taking a risk but a local council in the expectation that they will fill the new terminal. If the project fails they will leave the people of Luton with a bankrupt council.
