I am sad to see a once happy thriving popular airport disintegrate so swiftly into just another cr@ppy unhappy transport interchange.
The New MD (when appointed) must
regain what Bristol has lost and realise that a successful airport (punching well above its weight in everybody's book) relies massively on a dedicated, motivated, happy and loyal work force. The new MD will be wise enough to take on board that the support of the local community (business and residential) is crucial too to the well being of the airport and its growth. That support has to be earned and nurtured. The new MD should persuade shareholders from the banking world that their demands for short term returns will damage their investment and that they should focus on longer term goals, other than the next round of refinancing (from which they all seem to personally benefit hugely!!) The new MD should stand up for quality too, particularly with infustructure improvements. If a cheap cr@ppy travel experience is what you're after - go east along the M4.
The new MD has to
re-establish the belief within all "stakeholders" at Bristol International that we do have something special here and it is worth working hard for, worth supporting and worth looking after for all our futures.
Otherwise, we might as well re-name the place Luton-West..........
