As i've mentioned on a couple of posts BAA are NOT INTERESTED in aviation but rather in shops. They would much rather spend the £650m odd profit they,ve ripped of from the airlines on supermarkets and clothes shop than the main core of the business at exorbitant prices.They are now putting the development of LGW on hold because of Sep11 and a slight downturn in pax figures. This is the ideal time with planning permission approved, a budget set aside and as pax numbers are slightly lower less inconvenience to the travelling public. Whats the bet when numbers start picking up again they will start building with max disruption to the public,increased cost and they'll put up those poxy signs "sorry for any inconvenience caused but it is for your own good, because we are the best airport operator in the world". What utter crap. They employ jobs worths for no money whilst the directors tuck in to the huge profits from the shops and the advertising on the piers, how very churlish they are.BAA= British Arcades & Advertising. I really do wish the CAA could take them to task.
