Can’t we get away from all this “political stuff” about the airport. Surely the main crux of running a company is to make a profit. There is no point in putting thousands of passengers through a terminal and getting no return because you have given an airline or airlines very generous discounts. You only have to look at the traffic figures at many UK airports over the last couple of months to see that passenger numbers seem to be stabilising, albeit only for a short while. There is no point in expanding your infrasctructure unless it is going to be used to its full effect.
Let us all get back to informing and discussing possible changes to airlines and aircraft that use the airport and if you want to talk about roads (which incidentally has absolutely nothing to do with the airport management) find a road transport thread!
