The person to blame for this mess is that prize idiot John Prescott.
It was our much loved former Deputy Prime Minister who, in April 2006, withdrew Government objections to the Temporary Terminal erected at Coventry without planning consent.
He, in his infinite wisdom, ruled that although Warwickshire District Council were correct in that the Terminal had been built illegally and that they were right to have taken action, it could stay anyway.
Well a nods as good as a wink to a blind horse and despite the proviso in Prescott's ruling concerning noise and night flights, CVT management assumed that the planning application already submitted for the permanent 2 million passenger terminal would be breezed through just like the temporary terminal had been.
Now, the only people to have come out of this well are the lawyers.

I reckon you're spot on, CVT took off in the wrong direction.
Still, the Airport outsourced most of their services people last May, security, baggage, airport parking, cleaning and driving staff all moved to City Aviation Services under a £30 million contract.
I'd love to see the clauses in that particular document.
