Is this connected to the reasoning as to why this afternoon Eastern Airways flight EZE4717 to LBA operated by BAe Jetstream 41, G-MAJU squawked 7700 shortly after take-off and eventually returned back to ABZ? Only be 1x arrival since the said incident with that been a British Airways A321 from LHR.

The masses will have to come by train - oh wait a minute, all lines closed due flooding.
Road? Nope, can't do that either due to severe flooding.
Ah well, will have to be boat - oh hang on, sea swell too dangerous.....

The current issue with the runway will be connected to the intense rainfall which the North East has been suffering for the past two weeks with today being easily the worst for the city areas. Dyce was in gridlock this evening.

December
14% down on 2014, oil price continues to decrease and expected to stay lower for longer, more redundancies planned for oil industry so expect further downturn for months and years to come

Can't get much gloomier. I had forecast somewhere on here $20 per B previously, & it's heading that way.
In fact, there's really nothing now to stop it falling to $0 - $10 bracket. Imagine that - oil at $0.01!
I'm almost tempted to say the sooner Abdn/NE rids itself of the oil industry to allow a reset of its economy now, the better. Lots of pain yes, but you do wonder...
I doubt we'll get much help from Govts (many don't know where we are) so any help will have to come from within, as Sir Ian Wood is trying to do.
As for ABZ... well, more of the same really. Bet Ferrovial are glad they bought it!!

Terminal redevelopment
Aberdeen International Airport redevelopment to be detailed - BBC News
Biggest change in 40yrs to be detailed today when the First Minister visits the area to announce more help for those losing their jobs in the current local climate, but also the airport investment.
However I'm confused (easy I know!). These plans were announced in 2013, & I thought they were going ahead anyway. So has the downturn here stalled the developments commercially, so that the Scot Govt has to become involved?

Not sure CC. I'm still not clear whether it's merely the current owners/AAL announcing the commencement of the project with the Scottish Govt there in moral support, or whether the Govt are actually also investing in the project.
Certainly plenty of money being thrown in our direction all of a sudden (you can have the debate whether it's substantial or peanuts).
All stuff of course that arguably should have been done during the early stages of the oil industry, as opposed to what may now be its sunset.

If you are going to have an Airport serving Aberdeen, given the state of North Sea Oil and the fairly small population, you'd be as well demolishing it and building it further south to attract more traffic from Tayside.
At this rate, the airport is going to end up like Inverness in a decade.
