"Wings over Scotland: The steady growth of Glasgow Airport since the mid-sixties | HeraldScotland" https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/192 ... h-dh-dh-d/

Steady slow growth of an airport with tremendous potential, due to 55 years of parent company lack of investment, unenthusiastic and bland management, PIK, aggressive - very enthusiastic & successful competition @ EDI, airline/airport pricing, Scotland’s Political - European & Global status, lack of Scottish competitive national carrier (eg. Aer Lingus, icelandair etc) lack of management foresight to grasp lo-co when it happened, lack of infrastructure investment, a rail link that has been discussed more than the bible .... Blah, blah, blah. Probable a success in terms
of revenue/margin for its owners staying in the black since built ... but (all of course in my opinion - never allowed to or given the chance to reach potential)
