Re: GLA Sold

I'm just glad AGS are gone. They need to get rid of all the previous management too and start from scratch. I'm sure they'll have their own top dogs ready and waiting. Also, hopefully they'll not manage the three airports as a 'group' and develop each one with autonomy, or sell off ABZ and SOU and ...

Re: GLA and social media

Kinda social media...

Apologies if this has been mentioned before but I see that the airport photo on FR24 has changed from a panoramic view of the GA area with PA28s etc to a picture of the NATS building.
