Of course it will be sold. I have been saying that for years. As ESKEN doesn’t own the land, they and any new company can’t do a Doncaster Sheffield, as they will be buying just a lease that is worth what?
I can see the the airport becoming another Blackpool to stem losses, Maybe Southend Council taking control again like Blackpool Council did?
Blackpool Council reacquired Blackpool Airport in September 2017 from Balfour Beatty via its ownership of Blackpool Airport Operations Ltd and Blackpool Airport Property Ltd, to secure its long- term future as part of the Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone.
