So the end of August nears,any announcements? .It's the same old story - lots of bluster, possibilities,but essentially no real developments. Passenger figures on many routes decline,while at other airports i.e. Bournemouth and especially Southend seem to be be on the up!.The reason for this is they have a dynamic management team ,and airside improvements that have encompassd the needs of today's air trave!, something that SOU should have addressed years ago!. Simply SOU will continue to decline in the near future if there are no progressive developments . Next few months are critical to the airports future!
