Factual that some flights are departing with..shall we say ,not many folks on board..while businesses across the region are suffering big time.
Both will only get worse over the winter while the mayor continues to use up valuable awarded resources..Suppose Eastern are not too bothered as it covers their losses during the quiet winter period.When the money runs out..so will they!
Indeed. It all smacks of some grand showboating by the Mayor undoubtedly in a bid to win support, but at great financial cost to the taxpayer. Perhaps this would have been easier to overlook during normal times, but right now, when in ordinary life elsewhere, throughout the length and breadth of the country, where every penny counts, it’s a little distasteful and inappropriate. Going forward, I think this has a danger of tipping the balance with regards to KLM continuing at MME, with the potential in more stable times to eat away at the their load factor.
