Should Emirates start up at an airport ninety miles from an airport they already serve, in a part of the world which has no coherent government, an uncertain socioeconomic and geopolitical future, from an airport that can’t support a New York route, then I will happily meet you at your beloved Aldergrove and buy you a pint (even paying the £5.50 they charge).
Now. The 1970s called. They miss you.
It wasnt GB and NI that had to beg to be bailed out some years ago sunshine, our government in westminister had to help bail the mighty celtic tiger out don't you remember, emirates had originally wanted BFS to happen before DUB, only that the state run airport came up with the begging money to buy them over, money that came from the begging pot i suppose🙄
