SG Investigation
Anyone with ears to the ground heard who has been put in to do the due diligence for the SG, given that we are getting near the half-way point of the six-week period being allowed for it?

Re SG Investigation
So, do we get a properly evaluated commercial decision, or is it going to be down to a political fudge?
I had hoped they would bring in external financial, business, and aviation analysts, who could take a neutral and objective stance. With it being an SG internal analysis, is there a pre-determined outcome, which figures have to be made to fit?
PIK does have a future, the question is whether the loss-making bits can be cut out without affecting the viability of the rest.

Sunsetrep,
I would be keen to keep up to date with progress so I am presuming that given these are SG moves the progress updates will be in the public domain? Any idea where these can be accessed?

Who is the most likely contender to manage Prestwick Airport on behalf of the Scottish Government. Someone suggested Manchester Airport Group but they have ruled out getting involved.

The main runway at PIK is changing its designation today from 31/13 to 30/12 due to magnetic variation. Look out for the paint trucks at either end of the runway changing the numbers.

BBC News - Flybe outlines base closures as part of job cuts plan
A shame for INV and ABZ, however you would think that PIK could use this to their advantage and offer a cut price deal for FlyBe to switch from GLA.
Interesting to see WestJet starting YYZ-YYT-DUB with a B73W. Go get em PIK!

Try finding out what FlyBe's business model is, then explain how a move to PIK would be sensible / viable.

Got to agree with ATNotts - ludicrous comment which I hope was made 'tongue in cheek'. As regards the Westjet news to DUB that's an interesting development which needs more investigation.

That has got to be one of the daftest things I've read on PPRuNe for months!
