Choose Manchester to improve UK's airport capacity
Most people don't know the difference between the
DEFICIT and the National
DEBT. Even journalists get them mixed up yet they are clearly two very different things with attributes and issues of their own.
The same error is being made here repeatedly in that two issues are being mixed together. The market already chooses MAN to a greater or lesser extent, once again people are bleating about trying to buck the market.
UK Airport Capacity and
Strategic UK Hub Connectivity (LHR and nowhere else) are the two issues in question.
Building runways and terminals anywhere except LHR or closing LHR and bulding on a new site are the only two realistic options for addressing the second. However it is right that Manchester ought to fight it's own corner but I am at a loss as to what they are realistically expecting businesses to do. There is no business in the UK able to offer from MAN what is currently served by offshore ME based carriers, and rather well I might add. This all has squat to do with BA.
