This will be a disaster. Given that market forces will not of themselves generate increased pax traffic at PIK, the Scottish Government will not be able to resist trying to meddle to increase revenue at their state owned airport, either covertly by using tax payer subsidised discounts or overtly by introducing some sort of traffic distribution rules. The only sensible option for PIK is for it to abandon pax flight and thus lose all the associated costs i.e. close the pax terminal completely and concentrate on being an mx base and maybe freight etc.
