At last it seems that we are going to get a reliable and cheaper operator at the City, long overdue. I hope it all works out and the flybe and midland are forced to buck up their ideas if they are to stand any chance of surviving the competition.
The airport, and the planners need to take a hard line with the anti's, when they have their day in court in September, and explain that this is the best opportunity the airport has ever had. The benefits that will be enjoyed in terms of additional employment and other economic factors from increased tourism and inward investment far outweigh the minimal inconvenience caused by the transient noise of a very modern aircraft. C'mon residents, get on board and support your local airport.
