Newsstand - Scotland's main airports have lost almost 500,000 passengers in just 10 months

It's bad enough losing bags - but losing passengers is a bit much.

And where are all these passengers stacked up - is there a company that reunites passengers with their families?

Is there an auction of uncollected passengers every so often?

To lose one passenger may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose half a million looks like carelessness

Clearing the lowlands now? Took a few hundred years.

Could part of the decrease be due to the UK taxes on air travel? I looked at flying last month from Edinburgh to London and the price to go by air was over double the price of rail, and over half the total fare was taxes. Take those massive taxes off and I easily would have flown.

Higher taxes, stupid and unnecessary liquid restrictions + other idiotic "security" measures are destroying air travel.

DfT should be taken out back and shot.

Or taken out front and shot.

They're lost in the Edinburgh roadworks, desperately trying to find a way out of the city :(
