Speaking of ar..
ses, I see Ryanair has slammed the decision to defer the runway extension application to the full council when they meet 13/12.
They speak of an unnecessary delay in their plans to launch a European route, which could potentially carry 100,000 pax (
).
Also the LPL route is restricted say the airline, max 176 pax on a 189-seater plane, due to the runway length.
Supposedly 12 new routes out of ABZ are waiting on the runway extension decision being approved (wonder who the airlines are if that's true).
See the oil price is going down again, so it may be all academic!!
Wonder what Donald Trump thinks of all this. If he sees the city council unable to decide on a runway extension, what chance the shire council approving his pitch & putt course at Menie??
(By the way does his 727 have it's own "spot" at ABZ? Might have to get a gold-plated one if his golf course becomes reality...
. I hear 23 might be available...
