. Prestwick should be shut and support should be given to develop Edinburgh as our single hub – Edinburgh rather than Glasgow because it is the better performing of the two and there are good transport links between the cities.
Yes Joe, let's support
your local airport at EDI at the expense of GLA, and close PIK while we're at it. This guy used to be anti-Prestwick for years, his commercial judgement told as his local airport, (then Glasgow) would be Scotland's hub attracting long haul to envy Manchester. Any hub airport needs to be between Edinburgh and Glasgow, EDI is classic organic growth into a cul de sac like GLA. Knock them both down and build a Central Scotland hub airport plugged into the rail network. Is that going to happen? No. Politics is always local, Michael Kelly knows that more than most.
No connection at the airport into National Rail means you don't get to say your airport has "good transport links." Comedy. How's your wee tram coming along by the way? Looking at the budget, one can only assume they're using actual gold as tram lines....
