I think there's some confusion there. Peel own 75% of the airport, therefore the majority of the airport. So saying the 'airport' paid for things as if it's some separate entity is probably not correct.
True, it may have paid from the funds which the airport as a business had accumulated. But Peel still have 75% responsibility of that business.
Going back to earlier responses - based on all this, are we just agreeing then that MME is going to shut and Peel have no interest in it being an airport? All this based on hearsay and the fact that there are ATC shortages.
