On point Skipness, PIK offering a terminal and pax flights is a total white elephant. Anybody with an ounce of commercial acumen would admit to that. Not nice clearly for a person employed in that terminal who might be in here to read such comments, I can get that.
Nice that they can take diversions at night, but if PIK want doing so the ac would go to EDI etc.
I wish PIK well, but any government intervention is a waste of money, and a subsidy for a failing entity, Tyne government should show leadership.
