Possibly also Humberside, but I imagine the Dept for Transport might be reluctant to see 2 airports in the same region both close to pax service, and access to the North Sea will continue to be required. I'm assuming Land's End is too remote, Penzance is too small and new, and Norwich is needed for oil/gas rigs.
Are there any others that might be considered to be at risk ?
Wow - the heat must be getting really bad down south! Stay in the shade, take on board plenty of fluids...
