Military,business flights,emergency cover,general aviation,diversions etc. I always thought connectivity and providing a service to the local area was a rather important facet of local airports?
Oh well🤔
Why stay open if there are no flights scheduled? Shut the airport and save on the staffing costs.
Not worth staying open on the off chance a military flight wants to come in, and on the off chance they do, they can always arrange cover with a days notice. GA can continue with the airport closed, they just need to treat it as an uncontrolled airfield.
