    I didn’t realise CSA were a legacy carrier, they were actually cheaper than any other airline from Glasgow/Edinburgh to Prague.

    I flew to Prague last New Year on Czech Airlines from Edinburgh and have to say they were excellent. I believe that the CSA service was the reason GSM ended their service in the past. I don’t suppose that there is enough demand for GSM and CSA to serve the same route.

    Maybe so, but as far as the business goes they are an Edinburgh business, although probably more of a throwback to the rest of the Globespan business rather than the airline itself.
    I believe it is cheaper to operate from Glasgow?

    Actually not, their head office is in Colinton, which is just down the road from my Campus at Napier University, Edinburgh.

    I don’t believe the OFT has actually ordered anything to be sold, and until then nothing has to be sold in the UK;

    Is suspect if the Govt had still had their 35% they would have tried to fight the takeover.

    Any sell off of airports will probably be some years down the road. I mean this takeover will probably not be officially signed and sealed until well into the end of the year.
    After than I would expect a long term review of BAA services and requirements, then a decision on what assets to dispose of, I would expect that one of the Scottish Airports may also be sold, and as user of Edinburgh Airport I believe competition between EA and GA would be a good thing.

    Yeah I would suspect so, they are going to be taking on a lot of debt to make the purchase of BAA so higher profit it likely to be first on the agenda. Probably either selling off an airport or increasing landing fees.

    I think its a sad day for the UK Aviation Industry. The last thing we are actually world class at in aviation and we sell it to some second rate European nation.

    Probably the Americans arresting some poor innocent sod.

    I think that whoever gets BAA they will end up selling off some airports, perhaps Gatwick and a couple of non London Airports, but the problem they face is that BAA are heaviliy regulated by the Government, more like a state run firm than anything so I don’t see where the value is in the investment, especially when as said they are tied into plans e.g new runway at Stansted .
