Fancy all those folk flying in and out of Heathrow were once subsidising a white elephant
18.5 million passengers between May 2010- April 2011 is hardly a white elephant?
As per LTNman and nt639 have said if the airport is sold then LTN will be a prime target for the new owners.
I am a little disappointed MAG have now cooled there interest in STN as i think this may have started a healthy three way competition for London Traffic which can only be good for passengers.
I for one am quite optimistic about STN's future. A new ownership of the airport will hopefully steer the airport to a brighter future and hopefully introduce some mid / long haul airlines, after we will go on to LTN's Thread and copy and paste Buster's comments that he has made on here just to rub is little button bear nose in it.
All nit picking aside I hope for the guys/gals that work at STN that it does get through this dark phase and come out the other end brighter.
Quite an interesting read
