Why a lack of locos at ABZ?
Can't recall if I have asked the question before on here, apologies if I have.
Reading recently about the EZY expansion out of GLA & EDI (plus the recent routes out of INV) makes we wonder why ABZ has so few loco routes.
Currently:
EZY to LTN; RYR to DUB; MON (Sch) to AGP.
With GSM also (apparently) stating they will not fly from ABZ in 2006, get the impression that ABZ is the last airport in the world that locos would want to fly from/to.
With the affluence up here, seems strange that nobody wants to take the plunge.
I'm not advocating expansion the likes of LPL & STN have seen (we just don't have the catchment area) but surely ABZ could support a FEW more loco routes??
Is it really down to BAA charges? If so, why are RYR & EZY flying out of ABZ at all?
Is it runway length? This has been alluded to by the likes of RYR & GSM as one reason.
Anyone else have any thoughts?
Cheers.
