It’s hard to make a direct comparison. Even if the airlines were able to fly without restrictions, they would be burning millions in fuel without revenue.
The airport’s opportunity is cutting its wage bill to a bare minimum, but the government is stumping up 80% of that.
Please also bear in mind that SEN produces a significant proportion of its energy cost with its own solar farm.
Telling Amazon you are closed when their business appears to be booming (that’s my understanding) doesn’t seem like a smart move to me.
