Obviously an angry man bul-****! You invited the comment..yea I know there is lots more and plenty going on.well done to all those who have gone the extra mile to develop..
My argument is..where is a once major airport going.We can handle wide bodies(on Thursday) weekly Summer jersey flights,limited schedules and occasional small series of charters,Newmarket,Omega etc..however,we turn down a once a week Balkan and Thomson...what does that say about..any ambition and input the local economy?not to mention the
PR To be gained.
Of course this lost business is all we know about..goodness what else has 'been turned away' ??
Sorry to upset you but it really doesn't make any sense.
At a difficult time for aviation,surely the authorities should be busting a gut to encourage business(airline..and puddle jumpers!)
For those how have seen the rise and unfortunately the fall,it's sometimes hard to swallow without being cynical and angry.
