There is an awful lot of nonsensical comments on here. Has anyone looked properly at the Flyglobespan position? It doesn't matter about loads it's how much they can charge that matters and Flyglobespan from Aberdeen need a decent yield. He won't get this at Aberdeen during the winter as he does not have a based aircraft. The Aberdeen market is not big enough for a full winter service paying reasonable fares. The fares Flyglobespan is charging have been kept high and people have not booked. They took a risk and it failed. Flyglobespan is not low cost it is no frills - there is a significant difference. What benefit would BAA have to lie about the charges - if this was not true then surely airlines would have cried foul by now - and with Flyglobespan's record their word is hardly reliable. As for the other 'issues' then surely taxis are down to congestion on Dyce drive, check in is down to handling agents and the same for baggage. Immigration must surely be to blame for queues at international arrivals.
