I hope no-one is hoping to build a road or building next year. Gather HUY has got a monopoly on the Contruction firms in the area for most of 2006.
Apron, taxiway, buildings and car parks.

Indeed Excel offer lower fares than scheduled but they are not offering the £10 e/w that the likes of Tompson/Ryan/EZ etc can offer, the methodolgy entailed is quite simple, if the charter seat ain't sold better a bum on it than fresh air helps to keep the load-factor towards 100%, therefore making the flight more efficient.
As to viewing areas I am 100% with Panda on this, Airports are for transporting people/freight etc, not balconies for people to watch planes from. terminal space costs a fortune and every inch needs to be utilised to make money. The threat of terrorism makes it more risky to have viewing areas and providing an area for people to gawk when it could be making £ notes is just barmy!
