The selection of the Airport as the site for the UK Spaceport presents a transformational change opportunity
Great. Except that it hasn't been selected as the UK Spaceport. For it to function as a spaceport, it would have to be prepared to (a) stop all other movements at the airport for however long it takes to launch/receive a spaceplane. (b) stop the majority of Glasgow IFR departures for however long it takes to launch/receive a spaceplane; and probably (c) stop a whole bunch of en route transatlantic movements for however long it takes to launch/receive a spaceplane.
