Skyman yes MME is performing poorly at the moment in terms of pax figures but to suggest that the place is no longer viable is just silly. I wish some of you would get it into your head that pax figures are not the be all and end all. MME has many other strings to it's bow and you all seem to forget it. Also by Skyman's reckoning all airport with less pax figures than MME must be struggling as well.
I know that MME is struggling at the moment in terms of pax numbes but the place lost a large chunck of their business over night and it is going to take time for it to recover even though GSM came in, this recovery period could take another year.
On the GSM front I wouldn't be too concerned about dropping frequencies, at least they are trying to maximise profits, in the long run this is better for MME, means they are less likely to do a bmibaby. Regarding GSM next year I have heard rumours of a Sanford and maybe a Toronto. So there are many rumours about GSM flying around.
