Agree with the above though, a CPO won’t happen. The only chance of the airport reopening is a sale of the land to a private sector investor, and given the airport probably won’t be worth as much as an airport as it would be something else, it will require a great deal of good will from Peel and/or a significant investment from the private sector. Still up in the air.
A number of the Hangars still have sitting tenants, and also, the terminal building could be converted to another use rather than demolished
