Regards the 'east side 2nd floor, are you referring to the old spectator terrace? If so the reason it has been closed for 29 years has been because of the amount of asbestos present (or so I am told).
Not exactly. Access to the exterior has been closed, I wonder if the interior is susceptible to asbestos? Doubt it, no I mean the EAST part of the building, the interior has been closed since BA withdrew the VC10 I am told. (Thanks Dad)
A lot of empty dead space there with no income.
As for Hahn, they have been more succesful with the cargo front and were until recently owned by FRAPoart I believe, who also own Frankfurt Main. ie A real airport company.
