No doubt if the Spanish continues to run BFS the way they are it will be closed within 5 years. They mess up, lose business and then make cuts, lose more business and make more cuts. They may have "spruced up" parts of the terminal but the infrastructure is falling apart.

The cables that were damaged between the main apron and the baggage hall a few weeks ago are still dangling like a washing line, heavy cables that have now stretched and soon will be damaged beyond use and will need replaced.

The neon sign that, when lit at night, reads " Welcome To Belfa " and has done for nearly 3 months remains the same. What sort of impression does that give passengers and airlines.

These are just a couple of things that are clearly visable to the general public, that anyone can see. Can you imagine what it's like beaneath the surface.

The airport needs 10's of millions spent on it to bring it up to any sort of decent standard. The spanish will never spend that sort of money, they will however squeeze every penny thay can out of the place and spend as little as they possibly can.

God forbid, but if they do not catch themselves on and start bringing the place up to scratch somethings going to give.
