Reality check

It has now looking too late to save the airport.

ADP were ther airports best chance as they were trying to find a way to run it at less of a loss and build it up to the point were it could make money. The airport is now is hoping a flying millionaire will support the airport for year to come. His accountants will be looking at the books for a few weeks and then will tell him just how costly running the airport will be. If it was a long way from any other airport or in the south east then it may be viable. Being so close to BHX it needs to be cheaper to get signifcant traffic and that means living on very low margins. The delay in getting restarted has lead to a loss of some buisness that cannot be quickly regained.
