You’re making me all nostalgic, Skipness. Trans Caribbean, American Flyers, Saturn, World Airways, Universal, Flying Tigers etc etc all, as you said, moving US Military personnel in and out. And for...

It’s hardly an “airbase”. That conjures up images of squadrons of based military aircraft and, unless I’ve missed something, that‘s worlds away from what is actually happening at PIK i.e. some fuel...

This is complete political bonkers. The US is one of our main allies. So you don’t like the current President - tough. I am no cheerleader for PIK or the SNP but to criticise PIK for providing fuel...

TRN1K - the problem with your suggestion that once things start to recover, PIK could attract new passenger airlines by pricing is that GLA and EDI will both also be desperate for new traffic which...

Or at the very least you could mothball the terminal which would be a lot cheaper than keeping it open. If you define an airport as being “full” by the runway(s) being at max capacity it will be a...

GLA has two RETs and I am sure that if lack of RETs became the constraint on growth at EDI they would be built.

I can't get excited about this discussion but, out of interest, why is the 747-8 "banned" at GLA?
