He'll need some serious electric shock treatment to get rid of that London brainwashing
!
Why
When is the penny going to drop. STN is the most important airport to MAG not MAN I am sad to say.
MAG is a business pure and simple and MAG sees STN as the airport with most potential for its business and to make money and it will have priority for investment (which it is getting all the time anyway).
STN is close to London has London in its name and is a far superior airport both airside and landside and far easier to expand than MAN and has a large catchment area
The 1Bn TP for MAN is along drawn out affair not yet started and I suspect will be scaled back or "paused" at the first hint of a downturn.
I wish it were otherwise but when MAG bought STN very cheaply as it turned out MAN was always going to be the runner up.
