I despair of the kind of left-wing politicians who are behind the ludicrous idea of buying CWL. They generally have never run anything in their lives, yet feel they can do a better job than the professionals. Perhaps all those AMs who vote in favour of this lunacy should be made to accept personal responsibility for losses at CWL from completion.
Some posters have said that Abertis has "run CWL down". Abertis is a professional airport owner/operator that has been subject to the fury of the worst recession in living memory, in one of the poorer parts of the UK where propensity to travel is low. I'm sure the armchair critics of PPRuNe would do a brilliant job running an airport - until they had to meet the shareholders.
I have no wish to see any airport fail or close, but renationalizing an airport seems a guaranteed one-way ticket to failure. And what's more, the morons who have dreamed up this idea will be spending your money!
