Some good quality shots there Jamie, well done.

Great shots Robert. Shame you missed the KLM 744 at GLA.

Solution is simple 😉 Construct jet engines with ramjets under the fuselage (already exists in some military projects i think?). As soon as you get to cruise, turn off the engines and let the ramjet do the rest until you reach your destination and require the engines again. Sure you’ll add some weight and as a result a bigger price tag, but if it helps save the environment then there should be no problem 😀

Ofcourse its not quite that simple…

Looking at the normally ‘key’ months..

In May, June, July and August 2006, Abbotsinch ‘dropped’ 63,700 passengers compared to the same months in the previous year.

I’m not sure if other UK airports recorded the same patterns.?

Well BHX has not been a strong performer recently. Anyway, the months you describe as “key” are not so important for GLA. The summer months are always going to be popular, so the key months are infact the winter months. A more even yearly spread of passengers is what BAA are aiming for at GLA, but unfortunately with Prestwick down the road carrying a lot of Glasgow bound passengers from the likes of Eastern Europe and Scandinavia the bosses at GLA find it hard to attract other airlines who would offer good frequency due to the proximity of Ryanair. Hopefully easyJet will have the balls to challenge them. With the success of the SXF route to date we can only hope for further expansion.

But I’m not going to get into an airport vs airport arguement, aslong as it benefits the country as a whole.
