G-Awzk it is early days and peole need to give new owners time. Yeah things are.not good pr at the moment but you cant expect things to change over night. Patience.
The new owners have been in charge for a year now and so far the "successes" are a massive reduction in passenger flights, a huge amount spent needlessly on the duty free area, an ageing and crumbling terminal that is long past its sell by date and still there is a vast amount of air freight being trucked down the M74 from Scotland to EMA, STN and LHR. Whatever happened to the teardown company that was planning to start? Scared away by the management because they can make more out of ad hoc leases to BA instead of long term leases?

How much patience do you expect people to have?

Instead of making a clear sign that the new owners meant business and put in a new fresh enthusiastic team of managers the new owners kept the previous team "for continuity" and we see the results. There was a window of opportunity, that is now all but closed.

Airports cannot survive on training, diversion and tech stop traffic. Sending Greer and Landmark away - with the attendant job losses - is sending all the wrong signals.
