For all the comments about the operator etc, fact is the airport has been a complete failure (just like nearby new-build Sheffield airport was before it). Passenger departures today - nine. Comprising eight TUI 737s operating their peak season this month, and one Wizz flight; sometimes there are more of the latter, all typically concentrated late evening. That's it. Mainstream cargo flights vary between none and a couple per day, only because they are offered lower rates than anywhere else. For this you need security, border force, ops side, catering and retail, everything.
The four TUI departures by based aircraft today between 06.00 and 07.00 are going to need full security staffing between around 04.00 and 06.30 for up to 700 departing passengers, paid at night rate, then there's nothing until 14.00 for them. Not only inefficient, wherever are you going to find staff to handle just that..
The owner, whoever they might be, has obviously lost a packet on running the place. Bit of a classic example of "look, there's a big unused runway, let's have an airport".
