Especially Saturdays…Recently no flights after 12 ish…how much does it cost to keep a fully functioning airport open..if nothing is happening or generating cash?
I wouldn't take what is on the movements page or the airport departure/ arrivals boards as gospel as to what is actually happening on the day. It may seem that nothing is happening but the exact opposite. It could be kept quite busy with single engine light aircraft doing circuits etc which they don't put up on the page. So the small aircraft can be generating cash when it doesn't seem to be anything happening.
