NS open your eyes. You fail to understand the difference between government investment and subsidies. Investment in infrastructure is what is needed. We need a third runway at Heathrow; we need a second runway at Gatwick. We need a new airport in the Thames for the future otherwise UK plc will remain stagnant. Aviation has made significant advances in reductions of emissions with new technology. We need a policy that will put the UK back where it belongs. Subsidies are irrelevant .In your case, let the market decide whether there is demand for the existence of a regional airport. Fiscal policy has got us into this mess and we are paying the price.
