Monty....we don't see eye to eye.....But on this occasion as it's Christmas "just", 100% agree
See that...Christmas really does work!

Anyway ignoring Statler and Waldorf and returning to the subject of airports I will re-iterate the point of my post - it is traditional at this time of year for airports to make statements about the level of growth they are expecting over the festive season, this year we are seeing claims of very significant growth : 18% from BHX and up to 25% (max I have seen) elsewhere.

This is in conflict from comments I have heard on the quiet from SOME airlines and airports (yes I really do talk to these) that sales for the festive season are weaker than expected. Now at some point the significant post-ressesional (is that an allowable word Gordo?) growth we have been seeing (UK wide) is going to turn into over-capacity. It is just possible that this festive season MAY be a harbinger that this is point is on the horizon. I await the true December traffic results with interest.

Condiments of the season to you all.
