Sheffield has never been owned by the council - the land is leased from a company that has the option to buy the lease for £1 after 10 years.
This time scale has now been reduced but the £1 value does not take into account the huge losses suffered by the Airport over the past 7 years.
However, notwithstanding those losses still good business for BOTH companies that jointly own the Airport (Peel only moved in 2002)
But the mis-management is legendary amongst the operators there.
Ah well - will all be a dim and distant memory once the bulldozers move in shortly!!!
