Possibly, however there was also covid. The facts remain that Glasgow is a mere shadow of an airport of what it once was and I also think that a lot of work needs to be done. Regardless of of economic and political issues look how EDI has established itself compared to GLA. Speaks volumes. I never also thought some years ago that in terms of pax GLA would be overtaken by the likes of Lulsgate. It has.
Back in the mid-late 90's thereabouts GLA was the 4th biggest airport in the UK. Now it holds 9th place. I wonder if in the coming years BFS may even be able to top them. They really need to try and get the Ryanair base back, that could add a million passengers to the total in the first year easily if they played their cards right.
