Just found this snippet from November last year..all quotes by the mayor..
“perfectly positioned to welcome new investment and firms looking to place themselves at the heart of our
area. We’re confident of welcoming more than 400,000 passengers through our new terminal next year thanks
to all of the new flights we’ve secured, and our investment in the terminal, creating an airport people will want
to use time and time again. Our airport is so much more than just flights to Alicante, behind the new routes are
new jobs supporting families and the local community, this summer we’ve created 40 new jobs and this will
continue to grow further as our airport does. Of course, we shouldn’t rest on our laurels, and that’s why we’re
working harder than ever to secure even more new routes, airlines and operators.”
Mr Houchen said the past year’s losses would be “slashed” as he said the airport would return to profit by
2024. He said: “This will be slashed in the next year, we will be going back into profit within the next two to
three years”
Interesting quotes..400k passengers this year…overly optimistic views would be half that !
No idea about the financial details…or profit forecasts!
In this strange world..I feel you should be careful what you promise the people!
