I suggest evacuation HH!

Nothing we can do about the price as you say - just have to ride it out & what will be will be - whether that's the city, airport or indeed harbour.

One thing's for sure - there will have to be diversification of the economy up here eventually... one silver lining might be that's exactly what companies up here will have to do. A lower priced oil era may (may!) usher innovation & new industries in - but I'm too long in the tooth to assume this will happen as we would have to compete with other areas around the UK. WHAT would want to relocate or set up in NE Scotland.

Will the ABZ owners be forced to give better deals to airlines to fly from here in future? If passenger numbers start sliding wholesale, then they may be forced to... or sell it again. Maybe Nicola would be interested...

It's an interesting game of brinkmanship by OPEC - or, specifically Saudi.
