The BBC have finally caught up with the news

However, i'm guessing that they may have got the wording slightly wrong here:-
The airport has a 1,000m runway that is used mainly for flight training, but there were also plans for more short-haul flights, he said.
Possibly, a few of the local residents that have supported the airfield may take this to mean that scheduled (airline) flights may be a possibilty from the site which may turn them against the Airfield
