COME ON BAA, NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
An arrival from SVG (City Star) shoved into Runway 01 as all 4 (4!!!) international stands taken.
With the likes of GSM, T3, BE, possibly RYR expanding or hinting at expanding home & abroad, we need more stands NOW! International & domestic.
BAA, if you are constantly talking to airlines, which you say you are, then SURELY you must see the need to expand facilities to cope, instead of ABZ being stuck in a 70s/80s time warp. That's whether or not the extension to the runway is granted (which it seems it will be).
Does the BAA listen to ANYONE who actually KNOWS what is required, or does it just listen to its bean counters, who seem to want to concentrate resources on the likes of T5 at LHR for London Airways, or the shiny new terminal at STN? HOW ABOUT ABZ, WHICH HAS BEEN BAA SCOTLAND'S FASTEST GROWING FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS OR SO?
Don't we count?
OH, & sort out the CR@P transport facilities at the terminal. Only ONE taxi firm allowed to set down passengers at the terminal, & a rubbish bus service.
WELCOME TO ABERDEEN...NOT!!
