Looking to get major players ie Fedex & DHL out of Glasgow and Edinburgh freeing up apron space for passenger flights. I know that Ayrshire pax would have a 35 min drive to Glasgow Airport.
The thing is, FedEx walked away from PIK. They had a daily DC10 then MD11 service which they decided was better served via an....ATR42 out of GLA or an MD11 out of STN. Go figure. But FedEx is parcels focused whereas CLX is more mainstream air cargo. It was the same with Panalpina, now at Stansted.
You are also a reluctant shareholder and part owner of Edinburgh trams, the new Forth road bridge, the revamped M8, the dualing of the A9, HIAL airports, McBrayne ferries and umpteen more. Do you whine about those ?
Where it's an obscene waste of public money in terms of
shocking planning and
incontinent overspending, YES. So from that list, trams certainly and the Scottish Parliament fiasco too, a building recently suggested to be end of life by 2060!
With PIK, not one realistic business plan to cut costs and turn a profit has been seen, because that would involve closing the terminal so the headline politics would be "airport closed by SNP".

The decision to force out the successful FBOs must now seem like short term foolishness!
