I see the report is out about last year's debacle - no surprises there then and I wonder how much that cost the ratepayer! A cargo hub is not the way forward for Newquay nor are a handful of extra services by here today gone tomorrow airlines. What is needed is to build an infrastructure based around other aviation and non aviation business but whilst CCC have the desire to do this they do not have the funding or ability within the ranks.

I know all the enthusiasts want to see strings of gleaming jets in the skies but that isn't going to happen and other contributors to maintaining the viability of the site must be found.

I hate the expression "thinking outside the box" but that is what is needed right now.
