I do remember saying that and that is my personal subjective opinion. It looks terrible, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, consider for a moment that most airports rely ona two way flow of traffic and MME has to attract people to come in not just fly people out. In that task they have patently failed. Blame who you like but changing management in these troubled times won't make a ha'peth of difference.
I would't use the derogatory term "Smoggie" and I would summise that what people want from any airport is a selection of appropriate flights to appropriate destinations according to their needs, budgets and desires. This only happens if it is economically viable.
I want flights to New York and other long haul from NCL but I can't have them because it is not economically sustainable, I have to live with it and face facts about what the airport can reasonably manage. If MME can't sustain their holiday flights it it wont happen. They can't and it isn't.
That has nothing to do with anything but economics.
