Goodness JennyB, that was a long post!!!
Interested parties there may be, but it's what these interested parties do for a living (and not just that there are interested parties in the first place) that provides the vital clues as to where we may be going with all of this. I have it on good authority (ie it was confirmed in a meeting here on site today) that the Swiss consortium that we've been talking about a lot over the past few weeks are in fact a group of property developers - not an airport operator. Now, does that say something about the future for the airport?
