Two things. Firstly I think you will find that Gibair Handling do all civil handling at Gibraltar and is owned by the Bland Group which sold GB Airways to easyJet. According to local press reports that they have got to get there act together and cut costs to try and compete with the likes of Malaga and Seville airports on a more commercial basis as easyJet etc will have to think seriously about continuing with UK-Gibraltar flights.
Secondly, regarding Tim Jeans complaining about the cost of parking aircraft at Luton when not in use. Surely it would be better to have the aircraft flying if at all possible rather than sitting on the ground. Everybody knows that aircraft do not make any money unless they are in the air and remember where Mr Jeans used to work for some years ago – an airline which has a harp on its tail!
