Good summary Mr Basil (post 1709)
I think that MAG has reason to be a bit disappointed with Davies here. Davies dismisses such ideas as differential APD, tweaks to bilaterals etc, in a fairly high-handed way. MAG should challenge Davies on these and other points.
Entirely agree - very high handed indeed and he has been got at by ministers and civil servants running true to form. There was a golden opportunity to let regional airports do their own thing to help relieve some pressure on the SE although the numbers would be small.
Hopefully they will challenge it, but there seems to be no reaction at all to the report on the press releases on theManchester Airport website; only this on the STN site which just refers to STN
