I don’t need to be ‘careful who I listen to’, as I’m quite capable of making my own mind up in this. There is no evidence to suggest that DSA is a viable business at this time, if a private sector investor sees potential and Peel agree to sell then great, but if not the council would do well to enter into more objective discussions about what the best uses of the site are.
Yawn. THe great thing about local government is their business case can be more about what profit the airport delivers, but also what money it brings to the local economies. Appreciated it's often smoke and mirrors, but it's real smoke and real mirrors.

Obviously other airports don't really want the competition back..
