Remote towers is new technology. Remote APS is far more established. All the London Airports have had remote APS since the early 90s and the now defunct Doncaster Airport did too.
AGS might be better grouping its own airports than partnering with its rival down the road although a combined EGHH/EGHI APS would make a lot of sense

An ideal job for someone older who now wants a quiet life with not much happening, as he or she winds down towards ATC retirement. Maybe a greenhouse and a potting shed next to the control tower could be provided as an incentive for those quieter moments plus an allocated space for a Labrador’s dog bed.

Come forward with some constructive views,if you wish to be considered seriously!
I'm sure those on the Luton thread would wholeheartedly agree with your comments as well. In saying that the same could be said for every thread on pprune.
It reminds me when you're parents used to say to you when you were a kid, "enough is enough" 🤐

Lighten up chaps, no sense of humour comes to mind, as it was meant to be a light-hearted comment.
Here is a photo to cheer you all up courtesy of the airport’s publicity department. Shouldn’t they be wearing hi vis jackets?

Sorry I forgot it became a London Airport in 1990. It was as you point out a late adopter.
Whenever your called out you always make an excuse as in the use of "sense of humour" or something similar to make up for your negativite comments. That doesn’t wash with me and I'm sure it doesn't with the majority on pprune. Your consistent comments are intentional there's no doubt about that.

What a ridiculous massive over reaction to a funny comment but then what is happening at Southampton is no laughing matter. I can understand why when in the same week Bournemouth picks up a new route that Southampton should have got and Southampton’s new runway is officially opened with not a single new route announcement.
Regarding greenhouses and potting sheds, this is actually happening at Manchester Airport who have provided airport allotments so why the anger? Just maybe Southampton needs to do the same to stop their staff nodding off between movements?

Green-fingered Manchester airport workers have been banned from growing fruit at their workplace allotments – because of the danger of attracting birds and causing a plane crash.
The new allotments – just yards from one of Europe’s busiest airports – have proved a huge hit with staff, with 100 signing up for plots.

There's disagreeing and pointing out issues and there's deliberate "yah! Boo!! Sucks!!!" posts
There is absolutely no relevance to SOU in PITR's last post

Time to move on and end the anger and the abuse on this thread.

Any comment on the accuracy of the Microsoft flight simulator YouTube video, as I haven’t been to the airport for years?

A good friend of mine works as route development for Easyjet, I caught up with him the other day and asked him about Southampton. He advised that AGS has not had any communication with them recently reference expanding from Southampton, the last communication they had was to do with the Belfast and Glasgow routes.

Lots of speculation there maybe but that’s not uncommon with an airport which is looking to expand soon after a runway extension and this being a rumour page. If easyjet are not adding routes then it’s probably safe to assume someone else is coming in to take on a route network, after all the airport has always said it’s looking for a LCC. Will be interesting to see how this develops!
