Which UK Airports will survive the decade ?
The closure of Blackpool is hardly a surprise, but it begs an interesting question. The imminent sale of LHR's subsid airports ABZ, GLA and SOU magnifies that question.
Some months ago, a senior Director of an international organisation deep into the ownership of airports internationally (and in the UK) told me their deep analysis indicated that the UK could sustain only 8 pax airports. He reckoned consolidation and closures over the next decade were inevitable.
Even when pressed, he wouldn't tell me which eight they assessed as survivors.
Thoughts on his list ?
