Back to basics. One of our staff flew Ryanair PIK - Stockholm last Sunday, returned last night. £57 total. Non-stop. BA fare yesterday thru LHR £400 ish. Before the Ryanair service two of us flew GLA - MAN - Stockholm return. Took all day to get there, took all day to get back. £800 for the two of us, 4 working days wasted. That is why PIK is now operating at capacity, and the loss of your business won't change that. You have been told money is earmarked for that railway station, still the only one in Scotland at an airport, and not costing us taxpayers hundreds of millions of pounds. The terminal is stretched before 7am and before 1pm, and investment versus return on investment is an obvious problem. Your description of PIK did not stop Flybe, Cityjet, BA Cityflyer, BMI and Northwest all diverting into PIK last week. So overall your comments can be easily dismissed.
