Surprise, surprise! BAA is counting down the months until it offloads EDI and suddenly the nice rosy relationship with FR hits the bottom of a ravine.
I could be cynical and suggest that would suit BAA in Scotland right down to the ground. But it would be a risky game to play during a period in which they are looking for substantial bids from interested parties, to suddenly see the airport's relationship with a key client take a dramatic dive. Could be worth a peg or two off the asking price to a canny buyer, if passenger numbers take a sudden dive. But there would be nothing to stop them (the new operators at EDI, whoever they will be) trying afresh with FR again, so maybe FR knows exactly what it's doing. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
