AndyS I could'nt agree more, I am an LBA fan also, but wouldn't knock MME. Good luck to em I say. What I do find strange though is why all the investement going into MME if there isn't something big over the horizon. Maybe it's freight who knows, but why would you want a runway longer than 7500ft for a regional airport unless you have transatlantic aspirations? Runway extensions and even terminal extensions are expensive.The money won't be going in without some expected return, and I can't see that being just Baby having one based 737!
