No rail link, public money getting sent to PIK (laughable we have two commercial airports in a weak market), OTT covid restrictions that resulted in losses that'll never recover, no cut in APD, a green agenda that is firmly anti aviation.
The political and business environment is appalling, but that's only one part of it. Under Derek Provan's watch the airport has lost millions in traffic, the terminal is a dump that looks the same as it did decades ago, the public transport connectivity to Glasgow might even be weaker than EDI.
Ferrovial/Macquarie don't care. Its make a profit by spending as little as possible, to the detriment of the people who would actually need to use it. They've driven me to the train for UK travel and EDI for everything else. GIP and Dewar must be pissing themselves at the open goal they've been given.
