As I've pointed out before:
1) Reason for inbound foreign leisure traffic....none;
2) Reason for in- or outbound business traffic....very little;
i.e., the only reasonable source of passengers is for locally originating leisure traffic, and I would suggest that there is insufficient of that to sustain the airport long term. The only way they can get growth is by taking passengers who would previously have used LBA, HUY, EMA or MAN. So far they do not seem to have had much success with that. It may manage to tick away for a while, depending on Peel's patience, and the size of their pockets, but I find it difficult to see a long term future here. I feel it was a folly by a company whose experts should have known better.
