Robin Hood airport

(1/2) > >>

Sorastro:
If what I saw on the news this morning is accurate someone needs their bumps feeling.

The way I see it is, the people that use and /or live near Leeds Bradford airport are up in arms because it's basically too busy and it's over subscribed and causing problems. Robin Hood {about 50 miles down the road} is closing because it's not "viable". Admittedly R.H only has one runway but putting in a second shouldn't be too much of a struggle. I'm sure the vast majority of travellers using L.B. at the moment live nearer R.H.

Why can't L.B. take over R.H.

smithy266:
I reckon that within months, it will be a massive warehouse storage and delivery  site, with Amazon etc...

Sorastro:
if what I saw on the news this morning is true, there's someone in the U.A.E. interested in purchasing it, probably looking for somewhere to park his fleet of Gulf stream jets.

I don't think there's anything left in this country that isn't owned or partly owned by someone overseas.

Sorastro:
There appears to be movement in trying to re open the airport, apparently a 125 year lease has just been signed {March 24} so hopefully planes will be seen at the airport.

Old Cruser:
I can't remember using either of those airports, haven't flown for a few years now - we prefer to hop on a ship
