Very interesting article in CET stating that the new chair of the airport committe, Lord Snape, will not tolerate the "fundamentalists" who have been stirring up so much bad feeling about the airport:
Lord Snape, 62, who as Peter Snape was MP for West Bromwich, has been a friend of Coventry Airport managing director Bill Savage for several years. He has declared he will not support the views of "fundamentalists".
He said: "The fundamentalists take the view that the airport should not be here in the first place.
"That's not the view that I take and is not one I want to entertain; that is something for the High Court to decide.
"It's somewhat illogical to buy a home adjacent to an airport and then ask them to stop flying.
"What I will be doing is addressing the issue of noise, making sure airlines stick to landing and take-off guidelines and persuade the airport to benefit local purposes."

Naturally, CAECA have already accused him of bias, because they are all so neutral aren't they?
