@PIK3141 I used to agree but it's approaching game over surely. The taxpayer has no business funding outbound cheap holidays for the public if a commercially viable alternative is very close by with much improved road access. Air France are leaving the all-freighter market which leaves ad-hoc, Cargolux and Ryanair. Unless they can downsize to cut losses, it's just politics in the same way GLA was held back to allow George Younger to hang on in Ayr long after the "Transatlantic Gateway" model was a proven failiure.
