a potential investor in EDI is going to have to fork out £800 million to purchase and upgrade the airport to cater for long haul (or heavier aircraft) at Edinburgh
The difference between BAA and the new owners is that the new owners have a commercial incentive to compete with GLA, so they might be keener to spend the cash. On the other hand, MOL and others will be sniffing around for lower PSCs, and who's to say he won't play EDI off against a now competing BAA at GLA to bring his Scotland ops under one roof?
I'm not trying to stir the pot between the two cities, just looking at the commercial propostion - hope that's ok modes
