Well if the Scots taxpayer is willing/stupid enough to fork out..
but TBH there are a lot of airports that hang on when any logical review would kill them off....... Doncaster, Teesside, Dundee, Prestwick, E midlands for sure and maybe a whole lot of others - Southampton, Cardiff, Exeter, Southend, maybe Liverpool, Carlisle ... and don't think of mentioning Manston!
Well you could say it about every airport in the UK with the exception of Edinburgh, Manchester, Heathrow and Gatwick! As they are for the most part a few hours drive from most of the UK.
