Remember, the revenue attraction of airports, for non-aero-business investors, is not the landing/handling charges for hulls, freight and pax, but is the property play. Stobart began by hubbing Scotch distribution, then redeveloping railyards; Crosby's potential (like SEN's) is as a distribution/light industrial village, convenient by road to a hefty catchment, linked by the (short-haul) runway into all those world-reaching, multi-modal, 24/7 Chateauroux and Leipzigs. Expect very modest pax throughput: FR/Prestwick/Blackpool, EZ/Newcastle/Abbotsinch well-established: recall Lakeside Jetstream (and numerous SEN bandits)...and be humble.
