... to the owners of Gatwick/London City

I guess that this will change things little from our perspective?

[Lowtimer]

I doubt any user of the airport will notice any practical difference.

I suppose this will bring with it yet again more threats to Ingliston showground.

With numbers like that I suspect GA will see no practical difference. Paying back these sorts of sums ('cos the money will have been borrowed) means sweating more money from the shops and unfortunate flying punters. Oh joy - the terminal is already a place of misery anywhere close to Loco check-in times.

So the single monopoly of BAA has been broken up

into just two large chunks, no threat to competition there then !

I wish I could share your view. I think the chances are the new owners will say "if it doesn't generate income it goes".

The competition commission are a bunch of idiots airports are monopolies for all practical purposes and those working to capacity can charge what they like up to the point where traffic reduces
