I agree in principle although long-haul might be fantasy, the runway extension will be reality by the look of it, like it or not or extra traffic or not. Apparently compulsory purchase orders are out for two local businesses.

I would imagine the local councils are glad of any kind of dividend but I wouldn't like to second-guess about Ontario Teachers.

PK has instigated staff cuts, charges for baggage trolleys and revamped the car parking on the back of the Glasgow incident, which produced the goods in last year's accounts but also is the reason for the flak. On the positive side the terminal is reasonable and the new Control Tower started.

If this forms a good foundation for the future then who can argue and it is early days although sometimes I think the airport PR could be better such as the Armavia farce and this latest serious article about technology with the associations to Disney etc

Birmingham Airport strives to offer passengers Disney-style experience
