Airport names

Postby Copepod » Tue Mar 21, 2006 4:01 pm

There's already a John Lennon airport in Liverpool. I think that Robin Hood was considered as a name for East Midlands. Not sure if it will help the confusion between Belfast City Airport, which is right in the city centre, and Belfast International Airport, which is about 15 miles west of the city.

Well Belfast City is the smaller and crummier. He can have that one. But while we're naming airports after people then we should change Belfast International to Mary Peters Airport.

a good idea in theory, but may cause confusion with some drunken pilots tryin to land on the running track.

At this rate we could take bets on when Edinburgh Airport is going to become JK Rowling Airport....
