Could PIK with assistance from the Scottish Govt look at a new terminal akin to what Inverness or even Southend have. Would be more fit for purpose and running costs should be reduced some what from the aging existing building.
Southend's new terminal cost £10m, nevermind the additional demolition costs for the current PIK terminal.

All that just to build another loss making public funded airport with a few FR flights to med destinations would be ridiculous, IMO.
