MightyMouse and ByAlphaIndia- have you read the comments on pages 10 and 11? Post 200 pointed out that aeroplanes weren't diverting. They are. How can people who find the place convenient or like working there understand that as an airport, this place is as deadly as Congonhas. Horrid small rough-as-hell runway, it's going to kill people when they go charging off the end of 14. Such airports shouldn't be licensed, and the fact that some idiot company was willing to pay a fortune for a totally inadequate airport should not be seen as official endorsement that 'it's OK'. It's not, and the way ahead is to cut and run, not give this place artificial life that it cannot sustain. Any investment is doomed to failure. It's not an attack on the North, or Yorkshire, it's the truth. There are voices that nobody listens to. It cannot support longhaul, even if it is possible to stretch the runway, either direction it's a dud. If only they would have the courage to cut and run- it would prevent people saying for the next 30 years 'why have MAN done so well, and Doncaster, and Leeds has just bumbled along?' Because the place is hopeless!
