Interesting conflict..at the end of the day..what is going to get the airport back in to profit?
I am sure the majority of the public don’t care, you’re right. You’re also likely right that most just want more bucket and spade options.
But the people who do care are:
1/People wanting the airport to diversify and survive long term.
2/People looking for increased job opportunities in the region.
3/Taxpayers who have funded the airport revival who wants their investment protected.
4/The region generally that hopes to see a snowball effect of good news where investment leads to wider prosperity.
5/Casual observers, such as folk on here who are finally seeing positivity.
etc…
