But surely the airport are only so keen to get the extension, so that FR can offer European services. If Ryanair were not operating at the city would the airport still be so keen to spend the millions required for the extension??? In my eyes, while the airport management would like a longer runway, it's all down to the potential FR operation at the minute
.
I agree. The airport is not simply laying tarmac because Ryanair told them to. The airport had plans and needed a customer like Ryanair to make them happen. Why can everyone not see this. In the airports eyes Flybe and BMI are no longer the future for them. FR stepped in and made their ideas possible. Now that easy has arrived well thats just even better for them to have a potential reserve should FR leave.
As BFS101 has said BCA will pass on these costs to the rest of the airlines using the airport and to the passengers
Thats called progress, otherwise we would still be leaving the city from a Yellow and grey metal shed, flying in a Jersery European metal shed with wings. What airport management has ever said ' lets give the passengers a modern airport but keep our customers fees in the 70's'
unless your talking about BFS who up until recently said ' lets give the passengers that rundown 70's airport feel but keep our customers fees set in the future'
