..and how do you think the aircraft into this second airport would dovetail into the airspace around the Manchester TMA? The expansion at very close Liverpool makes the airspace around Manchester complex & congested as it is. Add in Blackpool & Leeds & you have very complicated airspace with everyone climbing, descending & crossing each other. We already have far too many airports in the UK as it is. Do we need a Liverppol AND a Manchester? Do we need Birmingham, Coventry AND East Mids? Do we need Doncaster, Leeds AND Humberside?
