egarding airport closure this is Friday night pub stuff. Both airports are profitable and if the sale of Cardiff to the Welsh government proceeds this could result in significant investment at BFS.
Finally a rail link to BFS is pure fantasy. If it was an economic runner BFS would have found the money already. The taxpayer cannot pay for it! If Dublin cannot make it work.....
BFS management raise this issue periodically to deflect attention from their more pressing problems.
Agree RE Cardiff Rudder, how that place stays open is beyond me given the proximity of BRS and BHX.
I think there is a big difference though between DUB and BFS re a train link. The nearest track to Dublin is many miles away, the nearest track to BFS is just past the 07 undershoot, the main problem is getting pax to the terminal (crappy roads for a shuttlebus/ too expensive to lay connecting track) but it must be a realistic future goal.
