If BAE own the airports then it's probably a cheap way of doing it.
Correct. My sister-in-law's husband works in shipping at Warton and sometimes takes the inter-company flights. My sister in law used to work in purchasing between Samlesbury and Warton and sometimes needed to meet suppliers on a group purchasing basis at other sites and she has taken that flight on more than one occasion. My sister and her husband's best friend was a senior director for the company and has taken the flight on more than one occasion. Finally my brother-in-law was also a director for the company and worked for many years out of Kuala Lumpur but he took the flight once or twice before relocation. I am told the flight was always full. Directors of course had first refusal.
