GF - not sure, would have thought best airline for biz market + onwards conx is, errrrrrrrrrrr - LX!
I really think it is about time we imposed a Nick Clegg tax on his endless stupid ideas.
Birmingham is a mid-table
base airport. It could do more to serve its local market, as we discuss ad-infinitum on here (bring on easy?).
Politicians just see the word train + plane and think they create the word "megahub". If only it was that easy!
This one (and there's another on the BHX site I can't re-find) talks of a
second runway by 2014. Some Freudian slip Mr K!
Surely a runway is a runway, it is going to have opposition wherever it is built. Granted, BHX has less of a noise footprint than LHR, but the grandees of Solihull can't be dismissed as if they just aren't there. And swap a reduced anti-lobby for the double nimby fight against airport and the high speed rail needed to serve it.
