MD Derek Provan was giving evidence at the Commons Transport Select Committee yesterday.
He bemoaned the lack of connectivity to LHR, so he thinks there is still room for expansion there...providing LHR get their future plans sorted out, if the politicians let them!
He also - again - highlighted APD as a continuing issue for this part of the world, suggesting they are struggling to attract further airlines to this region. Especially where the catchment area is circa 600k to start with.
That is why he has been pinning his hopes on the Aberdeen bypass to attract people to fly to/from ABZ if surface connections are better; presumably, principally, Tayside & Fife.
Interesting story today with Aberdeen Harbour looking at aggressive expansion plans into Nigg Bay to cater for growth & larger vessels. The sort of 'go ahead' plans you wish BAA/Ferrovial to bring forward for its facility.
