So the airport is just throwing it’s money down the drain according to you? Honestly, some people on here. Considering it’s owned by a pension fund, I can assure you they will have had to prove a business case for any investment so let’s leave it to the experts.
on a side note, I don’t know why the airport etc don’t make a point that larger planes are a good thing. For a start it could result in less flights. Rather than 4/5 flights a day with Logan it could be 2 with Easy. So less flights annoying residents. Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if if A320Ns are quieter than the likes of ERJs. Maybe someone can fine the noise levels of various aircraft.
