A Central Scotland Airport in Falkirk (Skinflats area by Grangemouth) was indeed planned in the mid 90s, but never got any further than the 'planning' stage.
It would benefit Scotland, and make life easier for passengers and airlines - using one central airport, and I for one would be all for it, however cant see it happening anytime soon... Cost, politics and the length of time 'public consultations / enquiries' take, would totally finish the idea off...
Can you please explain how this can make life easier for passengers?
In case you hadn't notice Scotland has a disability - it's called the excuse-of-a-motorway M8 and has to go through the hellhole that is the Glasgow Kingston Bridge.
Building a new airport 30 miles from Glasgow helps no one except the construction industry hired to build it.
People on the East Side of Glasgow are already using Edinburgh as it can have a more predictable travel time than crossing the M8. Those of us West of Glasgow and in Ayrshire (excusing Prestwick for the moment as it only does budget) would hugely suffer from such a move.
