the runway extension will create an extra 2500 jobs by the end of the next decade
If you want to get some airtime or column centimetres of free publicity from our increasingly shallow and lazy media, both broadcast and print, best way to do it is to make a wild claim about "how many jobs" are going to be created.
I think you'll find that if all the alleged new jobs that O'Leary claims for this and that expansion the Spanish unemployment rate would be nearer 10%, and even UKIP would be crying out for immigrants to the UK!!
