It's not worth looking at this stuff - there is little of substance and many but not all -(there are some realistic ones) supporters are just working themselves into a mis-placed frenzy of excitement which I would imagine will probably mean some disappointment in the end. Leave them to it I say...

It's amusing to see how the original report of the question to Steve Heapy and his answer at this conference has been transposed by various selectively edited reports (Doncaster Free Press etc) to mean something different - a meeting to explore options is now Jet2 seeking meetings to start...

Many thanks WH - most informative!

She's resigned this morning. Convicted of nicking mobile phones a few years back if I interpret the news correctly.

Who knows - it's an interesting development! You would think that they would be much more of interest to the 'big boys' than DSA.

Reading between the lines again - the fact that none of the questions apparently were answered directly might lead one to believe that CDC are in some difficulty with this and probably in too deep to extricate themselves. Notwithstanding the questions were all from an opposition political party...

Doubt it -CDC are so far in that they will find it just about impossible to pull out. Reading between the lines from the change of narrative (and of course my interpretation may be incorrect) the original concept of 'shared risk' is out the window - or at least watered down and it seems that at...

As has been alluded to - SAU seem likely to approve it based on precedent, the last hurdle is probably finalising a deal acceptable to OC with whoever the operator is likely to be. OC said he would not accept a deal 'at any price' and the numbers at the moment as has been publicly stated in are...

I do believe that is true. I don't think many folk in proximity to the airport complain quite a few actually work there. Of course there is some background noise but I think the claims are grossly over stated and come from the wider area where aircraft are higher on approach. These folk seem to...

Yes - that's indeed what he said!

It's in the Mayor's 'press release'. Asking for £3m at the SYMA meeting on the 12th November in order to conduct negotiations/contracts with the 'chosen' operator. If they still need that much to continue/conclude negotiations/legal aspects, one might assume that there is still a fair way to go.

No they haven't as yet. I think the announcement now, is to counter some unrest in respect of the period of 'quiet' and pertinent as apparently today is the 2nd anniversary of the last flight at DSA. I see that on the 12th November the Council will be asking SYMA for another £3m to enable them...

But the 'investor' would not own the facility they build would they as CDC are just leasing the site?? Wonder if Peel still have a finger in the pie??? It would seem odd that any such company would do that when there is a ready made facility not far down the road. There would have to be a lot...

Both + crew qualification - the RVRs were generally above Cat 3a (200m) so I guess that' would have been the criteria

In view of the narrative coming out of the Chancellor, that would seem unlikely - but who knows!! I agree with you that some elements of the local population - those who understandably want to (and are prepared to at any cost) holiday from their local airport - are unlikely to concern themselves...

The RVR seems to have been above CAT3a limits - did the 733s have an issue with on board equipment or crew qualification - although if they are planned to return that's a puzzle? Similarly the SXS 738. Is it just me or do the Dublin crews have more success landing than Belfast?? This morning the...

As I read this in the context of events, 'entrepreneurial' = risky, clear mandate = your fault if it goes belly up!

It seems that EI ATR Ops. are cancelled ( or at least suspended) from Dublin and Belfast City No doubt a consequence of the high winds.

Drove up from LHR this morning after an 'overnight' flight - fog down on the deck in most places all of the way up - except of course for a small patch at Doncaster where the sun was shining!!

I know it's been done to death, but I don't see how an 'investment' where the freehold is not for sale at somewhere like DSA is worth getting out of bed for in respect of a big player such as DAA. Seems to me it would be very difficult to make the sort of money they would expect without owning...
