Interesting to see that London City, a commercially viable airport has put the brakes on all further planned development; the same can be said about airports in the Manchester Airport group. I cannot realistically see Southampton's owners being willing to commit to any capital expenditure until the future aviation picture becomes much clearer - they will want to see a clear pathway to get a return on their investment which is not possible in the current climate. I think it's time for some on this thread to face the facts and take a "reality check".
