I see the MD has joined the board of AECC this week, and of course oor esteemed cooncil are hoping to build a new much larger AECC conference complex near the airport. Hope it's soundproofed!

Local evening paper has a letter today from one of the regular contributors bemoaning the lack of action in securing new routes for the airport, despite management's continuous mantra that they continue to talk to airline partners/work hard trying to secure routes etc. Cites Stavanger/Houston as an example of missing the boat when it comes to Aberdeen management. Something stops easyjet, Ryanair, Flybe from increasing their presence here, despite the area being second only to London/SE when it comes to the economy. Are they still not talking to Ryanair after all these years? Why couldn't they persuade Flybe to increase their presence - they couldn't even stop them closing their base.

I wonder what the latest is on the rumoured disposal of the airport by The British Airports Authority?
