Let's look at the facts, the airport is on track to have it best year for a long time, next year even with this news should see a increase in passengers.
Hopefully things may change with Loganair's position or Eastern make a return.
MME is much more than just passengers though.
When you look at it the airport only owes the 'taxpayer' £10m with a plan to return that money in the long run.
Let's just put that into perspective with NCL who owe the taxpayer £240m and that is only going to get larger!
