Looks like they were hoping the airport wouldn't exceed 18 million for the next 13 years, and they could just cream off the profits from this current expansion investment.
I guess that's capitalism, but not going to go down that path.
Could be the reason why AENA also didn't want to invest further either.
Makes you wonder if the airport will only be doing controlled or limited growth over next few years? I suspect if that is the case the council and operators will be on a collision course, with different views of how the airport grows, like which what happened about five years ago.

On another note, looks like the airport could be heading for the perfect storm this summer.
The airport staff, Menzies and FX staff all threatening industrial action and being balloted!
