Ports member welcomes involvement of international airline
The MHK with political responsibility for ports hopes Virgin Atlantic's involvement in the purchase of Flybe will give the airline more resilience.

A consortium including Virgin was announced as the new owners last week.
Tim Baker believes Virgin's involvement will provide more stability.
