Not just HLX, but Thomsonfly and de facto TUI as both parent and leaseholder for the site.

There has been a lot of buck passing here - airlines and airports say it is up to private companies to establish links. I can't think of much "vertical integration" in this area in the UK - perhaps easybus MK - LTN - wherever it goes in North London, and the LHR Express is (part?) owned by BAA.

Presumably the Ryanairport buses are run by local private companies - but do they pay Ryanair for the privilege of picking up their passengers? I know they issued a release a few weeks ago about a deal with Terravision - I think at CIA - is this substantially different to the other airports they operate to?

Hopefully the management at CVT will move a bit quicker now to confirm a deal with a local bus operator to get something in place.
