Disadvantages
-They STILL haven't grasped the ridiculous surface access arrangements - the roundabout in the plan will still cross in/outbound traffic.
No it won't.

First thoughts are the councils plans are too ambitious, too expensive and are not detailed. Also the council sees a reduced roll for business aviation so they can squeeze in more stands.

The airport operators plans on the other hand seem to be on the cheap which should keep costs down. Too many stands will require bussing the passengers to their aircraft though.

The major difference between the two plans is how far the new pier extends and whether a new apron should be built in the short term carpark.

Not sure which is the best option for the future of LTN
