Question

The latest Echo piece quotes a councillor saying he knows it costs the airport a lot of money to run security, fire etc..for these flights. This backs up the thought that the only logical reason you would do this is if it loses you money.

What I don't get is aren't you still going to need fire coverage, security and check in staff for the residual services? So, how does scrapping charter flights save cash?

Most IT flights landed on a w rotation mid afternoon. That is the time the afternoon Aberdeen service is on, so does this flight not require security and fire coverage?

Really looking forward to seeing the public face of this logic tomorrow. We know Peel enjoy spin, so they're going to have to be at their best to make this sound good.
