Anyone knowing all the facts will know that the airport own land that has had planning permission for a business park for 20 years but instead of creating 1000’s of 9 to 5 jobs they want to use the land to build a car park. No mention of that in their statements.
so how many jobs will be created then Spanish eyes ? It’s very easy to dismiss something without providing any valid reasons why! I for one am in favour of the expansion... a whole range of jobs will be very welcome. The world isn’t run on a Monday to Friday 9-5 timetable any more ! Plenty of people like to work hours that are not classed as traditional. A 24 hr operation requires multiple times as many people to staff a position as a traditional 9-5 role with two days off at the weekend. Add in the construction jobs, the support jobs away from the airport and the spending that these people bring to the area and it will all add up.
