Airport Commission
The contribution to the regions requires a much more thorough analysis by Davies.
All the major cities which require "connectivity" already have it !
Manchester Newcastle Leeds (4) Glasgow Aberdeen etc
You are already talking a flight every hour excluding Leeds so how on earth will squeezing in one say every 30 minutes possibly improve connectivity !
There seems to be a thought process that a new runway will suddenly result in a plethora of new service to regions that are not served at the moment.
Well hang on most were dropped in the 1st place because they were unprofitable....
And where is the comprehensive analysis of the spend.
You might rub your hands with glee when a minister talks about a few million pound investment in the Midlands but compare this to the billions being pumped into projects in the South East
The BBC reported "state aid" required for LHR and LGW would be billions.
It's staggering that many people have no idea what the difference is between a million and a billion.
By all means support the Capital but by a 1000times. ...C'mon !
