Extraordinary and dark times for both the airport, country and the world. With just 5 departures today and for at least the next 2 weeks the airport must be down to daily passenger figures not seen since the early 60’s.

For the airport authorities they must have preferred that Wizz had suspended all operations so they could close the terminal down.

I have noticed that cement deliveries for the DART stopped a couple of weeks ago and that the workforce is lighter now.

It has been mentioned that National Express has suspended all services from the airport but no one has mentioned the taxi drivers who are all self employed. With the taxi rank also empty it won’t be long before we start to see the tumbleweed as the airport is starting to get that abandoned feeling for much of the day where the few remaining staff outnumber the passengers.
