Pro airport people, unlike yourself, do have realistic hopes. We don't expect MSE to be anything like Stansted. It is a regional airport, from which some routes proved themselves with Eujet. Had Eujet had the chance to keep going they would now be using ATRs on the shorter, less popular routes. There is a catchment area to sustain that, though agreed not to as many routes as Eujet tried.
The roads are not that bad. People will use MSE because it is less hassle to get to and use. I think it will eventually be a successful passenger airport on a limited scale. It is not top priority for Infratil in the short term it seems.
