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.

I do believe that you only contribute to this thread to get some form of reaction,its a meaningless piece of tripe!
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?

Will someone please tell me where the Luton remote APS was please during the 1990s? Maybe management forgot to tell me. I guess we could have gone procedural from the fire station :)

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.

As far as publicity photo’s go, they don’t get much classier or iconic than that and instead suggest you stick with your Vauxhall Viva at LTN!

Well, for what its worth immediately I read it I saw humour. A few people are just a bit too touchy.

And all the other post's on here and other threads are all based on humour, really, have you not been taking any attention over the last year or so 🤔

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?

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

All good things come to those who wait!

BUT Southampton was mentioned in that particular post four times, yes that's right FOUR times.

So no relevance to SOU 🤔

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.

Is this where everyone now gives a list of possible candidates again that are suitable for Southampton !!

There's so much speculation,but very little facts!
Lets hope for some positive news soon,if only to stop some of the speculative posts that have been going on for a very long time!

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!
