OH! Now there's a rational argument for you, 'if an aircraft is most likely to have an accident during take off or landing....'
BFS is still 'a vile place' as
wingman says. I was there last week and it reminded me of how nice City (and many others) is compared to it. A lack of investment in facilities points to the owners not giving a toss about it, not because of competition from an 'unsafe' airport down the road.
The old argument from the City's opponents still doesn't hold water. The only reason some people want it to close is because they want to see those pax have to trudge up to Muckamore on unsuitable roads to fill Easyjet's coffers, not to improve anything for the travelling public. The 'choice is still there in Dublin' statement is a red herring trotted out by the doom mongers, always has been.
