So the chances are the airport will be mothballed - commercial flights - during the winter so trained staff will be made redundant and costs reduced as much as possible. Then what? Even if demand returns beyond expectations in the summer of 2022, and that is a very big if, how can the airport be in any sort of position to take advantage without a based airline or any staff if one miraculously appeared?

I cannot see how Esken can continue on the basis that one day all will be rosy again. It may be, but it will be years down the line.
