Grrr

I understand that the operational aspects of the TBI take over will be managed by Aena (The Spanish airport operator). Abertis are providing the money, Aena therefore will be represented at Belfast, Cardiff and of course Luton. Aena is like a combined nationalised BAA & NATS, so they must know their stuff!

My guess is that if the concession agreement between Luton Borough Council and the new Luton operator can be extended, long-term infrastructure developments will occur, so the BAA may well be worried! Now will the surrounding airports, airspace and its procedures be able to cope with 'giant' Bedfordshire airport in an equitable manner, I am sure that Aena will be 'on the ball' here? Some interesting times ahead thinks Buster!
