Mr Houchen did a very interesting on line Q&A last night.
He hopes to announce the first tennant for the South Side next year.
He intends to announce tenants for the two new hangers beside the station next year. Guess that this will be the aircraft painting contractor who are repainting the Jet2 fleet but this was not confirmed by him. No mention of the Willis again or even the new Jet Centre.
May be developments on freight soon although I note that the big announcement expected in mid-December hasn't happened. Told by others that this may be down to the CAA however.
He hopes that some work will be done to the rail station next year but not sure what that means.
Having stated on his Facebook page a couple of days ago that pax numbers will increase next year he confirmed no new flights agreed but Malaga still a target.
The publication of the corruption report was not addressed but national press now suggesting that its release has been delayed again from the origional date in October and now expected mid-January and Mr H acknowledged that he may not be reelected.
Lots of well justified praise for the staff at MME with reference to airport of the year..... twice!
