If you want to improve comfort in the terminal... that means concreting over lots more green belt to get a bigger square feet per passenger number like that at Gatwick... but you don't seem to want that either.
Why is spending 2 hours in an unheated marquee unacceptable, as I am sure many would accept it?
The money for the Dart should have been spent but not by the town’s taxpayers when there has been a £187m write down. It has to be noted that the airport operator refused to fund it. Now I can’t think why that would be. Maybe something to do with the £187m write down before it even opened.
As for building on green belt to give passengers more comfort. This is not needed, just cut the terminal’s capacity to say twice what was said it would be when it was first built. 10m is a nice round figure. More comfort for passengers while almost halving pollution, noise disturbance and road traffic.
