Indeed - SOU today hinted in another FB post that if the 164m extension does not go ahead
the airport may close and they will see the business all go to LHR----on the roads
They also mentioned how important the Cruise industry is (well sadly not right now) and HM Royal Navy personnel at Portsmouth who used the airport before Covid and the loss of Flybe.
