East Midlands School of Flying
From another forum, it has been announced that the flying school is to be disbanded by November. A letter to the school members included the statement:
'Due to Ryanair's expansion at the airport and their future use of
DHL's apron during daylight hours, the airport is planning an internal
road to link that apron with the terminal one. This road will run
straight through the flying school building and apron.'
Apart from the disaster of the school being shut down after all these years, what help would it be parking Ryanair's a/c on the Western apron during daylight hours, when the main apron is only likely to be short of space overnight? (Almost adds to the earlier DHL rumour - I wonder how long it would take to convert the DHL building to a Ryanair terminal!)
