Zantopost thanks for the heads up. It would seem there could be potential though in them taking it on. Heard there was talk that the Oxford factory was flat out and that they were considering opening a factory in the Asia to supply demand for that region. Would rather they choose Southampton any day of the week.
Nakata77: You are speaking rubbish, one is the international hub of the country the other is a regional airport. Serve completely different markets. Just because LHR Holdings concentrate on their Jewel in the Crown (as anyone else would) doesn't mean they don't want Sou to grow. Put simply with the economy in its current state it would be madness to grow a regional airport. Granted they should loosen the purse strings a little on the airside front but maintaining what you have in times like this is smart. Take a look at BOH who invested millions in a new terminal when they have nothing more than a seasonal programme operating if you want an example.
