Beafer, how's about you learn to read because all of this has been covered previously, if you don't like the answer hard luck I'm afraid

Covering the losses over the years has probably meant they've spent twice £20m, now it does not matter if you do not consider that investment, it does not matter if I do not consider that investment, it does not matter if SWBKCB, N707ZS, MacGinty or whoever else does not consider that as investment, Peel does, and it seems to be recognised by the business community and Government therefore it stands.

For the third time of mentioning, if it was as straight forward and ridiculous -looking as what the press make it out to be, Peel would't ask for it, they are smarter than that. Besides, even if they are trying their luck, doesn't everyone do that during our everyday lives? We all love something for nothing if it's on the table!

Robert may have those figures, but no mention of the details?
Question, if the airport is still losing the so called £2m a year will Peel close it, or give it another 5 years when the break point is due?
As someone else said, how many other airports of our kind are guaranteeing to still be open next week? Peel are being generous, and the likelihood is they won't close at the end of the five years anyway, A) because of the
storm it would cause and B) why close for such a weak excuse when they've had a couple of strong opportunities in the past?
