renaming airport

Have any of you considered where the "re-naming" ideas are being raised?

I reckon it is all media hype as they are desperate for something light hearted to talk about.

Every time the story pop's up, it seems to be originating from tabloids and then rolling on by the more credible media as they feel they are missing a big story.

But still no indication has come from the airport that a name change is actually going to happen. All I have interpretted from their quotes in the press is, "we are evaluating our brand's position and considering our options." This seems like a sensible thing for a business to do if it needs to use it's brand to help generate more business.

The press have said things like "spending loads of money" and talking about names and short lists, creating an almost story feeding frenzy.
I suspect they have spun it into a totaly different story to what is actually happening.

Same old story, don't always beleive what you read, especially if it originated in a British tabloid.
