Going to be interesting hearing how they get on there considering the site was foreclosed on 3/4 years ago and has has no development since then.

No hangarage or even cover for aircraft out in high temperatures all day. If the plan is for diamonds to be used for continuity, they are known to have issues at high temperatures. CAE found this out very quickly.
Likely no fuel, maybe avgas but no jeta1.
No ATC, so starting there then going to some of the busiest airspace in the UK will be a big jump. Again, FTE students had issues in the UK (pre-brexit) with the change of pace and that is far busier.
Who knows what the plan for maintenance is, the major Murcia airports are not far away at least.
