Don't hold your breath over Swansea, the place is feeling like a morgue. A general malise has decended on the place. Airport staff are totally demoralised with constant rumours over the place being "run down" by the current lease holder.
Swansea is a great site but since the demise of Air Wales the lease holder has apparently lost complete interest in the airport. The lighting has gone into ruin resulting in daylight operations only, the terminal building looks like something out of Jurassic Park since the cladding was taken off it and never replaced and rumour has it that the NDB and DME are the next things to be taken out of service.
Don't think that the business jets will be interested for much longer.
Come on Swansea Council, if the current lease holder has lost interest in the place, can someone be found who can develop it to its real potential? There are a great bunch of guys at the airport trying to make it work, but get constantly s**t on by their boss, the lease holder, when trying to get a few quid to keep the operation going to CAA standards.
