He certainly is very positive with his outlook, and it can only help getting back out and attending trade events. It will take a bit of time to produce results, but re-building relationships is a good place to start.

Re the P&W engine issues, 4 GLA carriers are suffering the impact; KLM (E295), TS (A21N), LH (A20N/A21N), and Wizz (A20N/A21N). Certainly airlines will be hoping for resolution sooner rather than later.

Growth in % terms has been broadly similar over the last three months but the true measure for two airports in close proximity with a significant catchment overlap is passenger numbers where GLA sadly falls well behind EDI . . . so no, I cannot support the notion that GLA is Scotland's fastest growing airport

When he was asked the question about number of passengers he replied 9m rather than 7.5m
