Do we really need a seperate airport for Cargolux and Air France Cargo?
We shouldn't need a separate airport for heavy freighters, but it is a fact that the privatised city airports in Scotland cannot land these aircraft especially in the wet and are showing no sign of extending their runways. The owners of EDI are in fact going to build offices on the only runway that they could possibly extend without moving the railway.
They would probably also be unable to send a freighter direct to destinations like Los Angeles from Scotland.
Exports that are trucked to England get claimed as UK exports and the resultant figures are used in political propaganda against the Scottish people.
I'm sure that MOL is smart enough to use this situation to his advantage.
