The infrastructure changes, of which I am personally confident shall be approved, will be constructed for the long term future of the airport and not by people with short term visions and suggesting now is not the time to invest. Aviation and travel will at some point return to those levels seen prior to Covid and SOU needs to be in a position to capitalise. The entire project is costing circa £15m and is for a minimal length of extra tarmac and several hundred additional car parking spaces. Quite frankly this costing pales in to insignificance versus airport projects elsewhere and what's more AGS have categorically stated on several occasions that the money is there to be spent. Bored of hearing arguments why the airport will or will not survive and hope for the regions sake that in 12 months time things will be changing for the better!
