Farewell ......

Smashing little airport it was. Smashing people. Fraid the regional airport and airline business is just not worth anyone's risk now. I'll be paying off my debts until I die!

Bon chance everyone

Ivory Tower. LOL! That will be my porn name when I finally lose interest in the aviation game.

The great thing about Coventry is that there is no need to speculate about the likelihood of...

Reality check

Not been on for long to talk about CVT which I hold dear to my heart:

A one way trip back to max fares

The apparent death of regional airports (and operators) marks a return to the good-old-bad-old days. No more airline bartering with the 'big' airport operator - it'll be 'our way or no way'. Then,...

Runway closures

The 'complete lack of business acumen' is, probably, a harsh assessment - the airport is a big, leaky bucket and 24 hour Ops prior to Thomsonfly was a product of Air Atlantique's need. The knock-on...

Missed the good news?

I don't believe that any decision made out of political cowardice with a good measure of corruption thrown in will ever be good for aviation regardless of which axe you happen to be grinding.

Sympathise about high cost of landing - one of my long held beefs - however at Newquay or, to be accurate, St Mawgan, it is unavoidable 'cos it is a military base and you can't allow any old Tom,...

My opinion as a CVT contractor

Present pax numbers between 600 and 700k so still potential to increase flights by almost a third b4 reaching capacity.
Existing buildings easy to reconfigure without need for further consent....
