Mr Curry may have been overcome with the excitement of it all. Would never have happened under a BAA monopoly mind, he was right about that.
I was not overcome with it all. In fact I was not in the least bit surprised. BAA's departure from EDI opened the floodgates for the traffic that should have been encouraged in the first place. In fact they (BAA) were wet behind the ears to retain GLA. If they lose EK and the High Street leisure market,
GLA will be worth more in terms of real estate and commercial development.
In fact the Scottish Government's purchase of PIK could hasten the prospect.
