Good to be passionate, Tiger8, but as a taxpayer do you really want your Government using your money to manipulate the free market in the use of Scottish airports, to artificially decide who flies from where?
Remember that GLA and EDI are privately run airports that compete in an open market for traffic (that's airlines and passengers). PIK, INV, and DND are in public ownership and shouldn't compete to take people away from privately run enterprises using our money.
PIK and the others have to stand on their own two feet, unless they have an essential component to their operation. Surely the question with PIK and DND is how much should the taxpayer be expected to contribute each month to win business that would otherwise automatically default to GLA and EDI?
Shouldn't we leave the passengers to decide?

If PIK is to succeed surely it has to find a reason to exist beyond a cheaper alternative to GLA for the LCCs.
