Well Mr O'Leary has announced that he is pulling out of MAN, so if this latest London Airport can offer him the 3 pax handling fee that he wants, who knows what may happen!

Bet the Clubhouse type facilities at this airport will be somewhat lacking!

I bet a lot of the time he is just testing their bluff but good for MAN for standing up to him and saying 'NO'

O'leary might not want any facilities - maybe he thinks he couuld make do with a tent - but his pax want / need clean toilets, chairs to sit on and heat and light etc etc and these do need paying for.

Chairs? There is a perfectly good floor. Plus all those bums will keep it polished

hmmm but think of all the static the shell suits will generate.

Surely a danger to aircraft? [:?][:?]

Hmm, how about if Manchester Airport agreed to rename itself as London Ringway?!

Perhaps then Mr O'Leary would agree to the 3 pounds per passenger fee.

Regarding Oxford airport changing it's name, it really is pretty ridiculous, Oxford is almost as close to Birmingham than it is to London!

Isn't Oxford/Kidlington a little short to be an airport?[:?]

Fantastic. 'London Prestwick'... Free deep-fried Mars Bar for each bemused Norwegian [;)].
