Good points SWBKCB..however as we all know PR. Works in funny old ways..especially now!

The Mayors plans ,through no fault of his own ,have Now gone out of the window. The dreams of only 9/12 months ago are nightmares now?

So ,he had 20 million to use, to get the airport up to higher desired levels...this Is now a financial disaster as it must be costing a fortune ,regaining the airports hours and staffing?
That money as was always the case could have been better utilised on local transport infrastructures?

There is no doubt all routes are being helped along the way with financial backing..probably keeping airlines like Eastern afloat!

Airport wont survive on Cruise bookings to Southampton..eh! no cruises guys.
It won’t survive on holidays to Newquay and Cornwall
And the core routes of Amsterdam and Aberdeen are stuttering.

Of course it’s not just here...the majority of UK airports are in the same boat.

Vaccine anyone? 🤞
