keep dreaming
I think those looking for the owners of NEWCASTLE AIRPORT to start providing a viewing area are not really living in the same world that the airport business works in.
Newcastle airports prime function is to process fare paying passengers
For every little boy with his dad who wants to stand and watch the planes
The airport could process another £££ passenger
The airport is a profit driven business it’s not a day out.
Much is being made of the fact that these spotters will make money for the airport.
Stop and think where all the facilities, bars, cafes, shops .seating etc are
Airside where the people paying the money is
The airport don’t want anyone blocking up the building who is not travelling
I.e. No seating anymore landside apart from what’s left of “Cafe Pronto”
Which by the looks of it won’t be around much longer?
If there was money to be made out of the spotters” Wings bar” would still be in business.
Sounds harsh
But just how many people don’t use NCL to travel from because the lack of a viewing platform for none travellers
Not Many I bet
