1．(a) Why BAA argued for two additional runways in Scotland?8

In Scotland, two additional runways will take the profit maximum for BAA’s airport which is the maximum profit we will get in nowadays. BAA plans mean it will spend more than 2 million every day on airport infrastructure. They pay much money in the construction and facilities in the airport. So BAA need to gain the more revenue and profit to off set the heavy capital expenditure. According to BAA’s nature of business module, they have a highly fixed cost and lower variable cost. So they hope fully use their operational potential which gain more profit. Additional runway takes more airlines and passengers to BAA. Under the circumstances, BAA need to gain more revenue to offset the highly fixed cost to achieve better financial performance.

Two additional runways will improve BAA’s future competition competence in Scotland. If they can argue more runways, it will help them to increase the operational ability and to attract more airways use our services. As a result, it will bring more business to our company. According to 2003 white paper, airport expansion and the future development of the aviation industry in the UK over the next 30 years. The BAA gains more additional operational ability will help us catch the opportunity to grow up in future.
