Time now for all us Wiggins watchers to move with the times and start using Planestation, the new company identity. The name Wiggins Group plc has now disappeared from the database at Companies House and Planestation is now listed on the LSE website.
So fellow travellers, forget Wiggins, the name of the game is now PLANESTATION. Lets hope it goes like an express train.

BA or maybe BAA buying PTG "on the cheap" would make a lot of sense siince the clowns running PTG, appear not to have one set of matching uniforms between them. You could argue that only a few people live close enough to use KIA - but there are quite a few of them - also, it would be possible to do deals with the smaller Regional Airports, such as Bournmouth, Newcastle (tyneside) maybe so that passengers could benefit from lower fares to their "long-haul" destinations. Also they'd not need to fly to Heathrow, thereby reducing airport fees and by grouping passengers. I'm sure this is what happens already (using Heathrow) but it matters little "where" the grouping is done, provided the long-haul planes can get in and out.
Maybe that's KIA's problem - as soon as they get successful they are too busy. (Is it a single runway - or at least restricted in plane movements).?
PTG Management has been economical with the truth for a long time IMHO, but not economical enough with their spending plans. The poor location and time of the AGM is the real pointer. The sp just tells it as it is.... D.I.R.E.
BAA could buy this oufit out and wait until the site's value makes it viable. In the meantime they have an alternative "emergency" airport, maybe for checking/training pilots whose credentials are somewhat unknown. By buying it they would eliminate the possibility of a rival operator, maybe the French would like
to put in a bid. (whoops!)

Suspicious that they responded so quickly to the price rise...there was no need for that in normal circumstances.Don't trust this lot one bit.
Interesting theories,Hangon.By the time they have sold all their assets they won't have a runway left.
Beats me why they decided on yet another low-cost airline,especially with rising fuel prices and terrorism.Should have developed their airports differently.

All
I know several people who have links with the airport , and the whispers and yes they are only whispers that BA could be interested in purchasing the airport L, S and barrell, BA are rumered to be looking to relocate cargo movements from Stansted, so what an opportunity, the airport has its own new boarder check in place the basic infrastructure is also their!!
The airport has always had potential so why not utilise it (and not for housing)

Makes you wonder if the price was hiked last week to lure in some buyers so the institutions can dump some stock.

Not good news for share holders but perhaps for the future of the airport a company with a good business sense may step in.
