The ultimate question that LA has refused, consistently, to answer; who is going to pay for a new airport within such a close proximity to a brand new airport near Doncaster?
The above posts are pointless, the airlines continue to operate from LBA quite happily, there is no evidence to suggest that any long haul operators are deterred from operating due to runway constraints. The real reason is due to MAN being not far away. No new airport is going to change that.
