has been one of 'Airport's for Dummies'. EDI will of course - given new owner's investment commitments - emerge as Scotland's Heathrow.
Didn't Delta manage to make the other Heathrow pay year round though? Turnhouse vs Abbotsinch ne RNAS Sanderling is localism gone mental and deserves to be parked in the 1970s from whence it came.

The closest Scotland could come to a hub airport would be a Central Scotland twin runway new build with fast rail to Queen St and Waverly as well as Inverness and Aberdeen. However the tragic loss of prestige with the two big cities no longer having "local" airports means it won't happen. Strategy? Whit's that then? Oh and there's no money either.
