I agree that airport managers must have a hard time planning, with the likes of MOL and the unpredictable route changes of RYR. But BOH currently really is shooting itself in both feet.
BOH was Rusticville serving Air Geriatrica, with infrastructure predating my namesake, but a loyal customer base. It dragged itself towards the 21st century introducing LoCo’s but was too little to late upgrading facilities. They have a hotchpotch of a website, clearly failing to comprehend the demographics of the catchment area, which I live in.
And worst of all they now the most obnoxious pax security it has been my misfortune to encounter anywhere, repeat anywhere. (See http://www.airlinequality.com/Airports/Airport_forum/boh.htm - no entries are mine!) These guys really are frightening, I use the word advisedly, pax into the arms of SOU, BRS and others.
Maybe airports can’t advertise their way out a trouble, but they can sleepwalk into the graveyard.
