I thought the RDF funding had stopped?
Scottish Airline? Surely FR are currently the busiest with Scottish bases?
Or do they have to be based at Abbotsinch to earn the "Scottish" description?
RDF continues to be paid to routes that were funded before the scheme was stopped by EU rules. FR set up home at PIK in the old days due in part to the subsidies and RDF they received and continue to receive. No new routes are able to enjoy this benefit.

Are you suggesting that FR should be Scotland's national airline??

Where in my post did even mention Glasgow? You do seem a little sensitive Mr Curry.

Scotland deserves it's own airline - AND RYANAIR SHOULD NOT BE IT!!!
