You beat me to it Bagso. I couldn't spot a mention of airports either, even in Bernstein's comments. Predominantly about rail and roads.
I see that the 3 main party political leaders have pledged jointly to give the Scottish parliament more powers in the event of a 'No' vote, including on taxation. If that includes the iniquitous and damaging APD, then I'm certain the Scots would decide to abolish it or at least significantly reduce the rates, which could prove disastrous for long haul routes from MAN in particular, but also for NCL and even BHX. It would be reassuring to think that sustained pressure is being applied by MAN and North West business leaders on the Chancellor, not only regarding the present situation on APD but on the increased threat if Scotland is allowed to adopt its own policy.
