Totally disagree, you obviously have no understanding of the airport’s history, please don’t make generic statements about things that you cannot substantiate. If you want to get involved in poor ownership issues, there is one much closer to home, Carlisle.
I worked through a number of airport owners’ regimes, including Bl**dy Awful Airports Plc who were originally responsible, due to a lack of long term planning, for the state of the airport that the current owners bought into.
Although not perfect the current owners are the first to have invested in securing a future for the airport by applying for a runway extension and also solving the lack of controlled airspace that BAA chose to accept, rather than challenge, when CAA re-designed controlled airspace into what is now the Solent CTA.
