Coventry - Thomsonfly

"Terminal" will be a temporary port-a-cabin on the cargo side - very nice...I hear the airport will employ new staff for check in. Only problem is that they haven't started recruiting yet. With training and new disclosure formalities how can they be ready for 31st March? Firemen will double as baggage handlers...what happens if they are called to an incident, the airport grinds to a halt? Seems to me as no-one wants to spend money again...

Car parking will be an issue - someones has the sums wrong at Cov. 4 flights x 130 pax = 520 pax each day. Lets say 300 cars to allow for families. Say they stay away for a week. By the time the original passengers return 7 days later there will be 2100 cars in the car park.....

Problem is the planned car park will only have 1200 spaces. Suggest you get the train!
