Just to clarify for all, PIK got its CAS back after a long fought battle which took very nearly five years. The arguments involved various parties including the ppl community who were convinced it was a bad thing, and the Airport on behalf of its fare paying public who thought it was a good thing. I don't remember MOL being involved in the process. He certainly wasn't in the office when I put the proposals forward to DAP and quite honestly I don't think he gave a flying fig as it made no difference to his bottom line. CAS is in the UK justified by tests of usage which have to be demonstrated. Perhaps EGMC isn't in that league just yet.
