It seems the utmost folly to spend 45m bringing the airport up to speed for attractiveness to airlines only to completely diss it while still being part of MAG - it will not only mean the perceived value of the airport comes down, but also any chance of selling it on becomes impossible after being so negative. i think the guys comments were taken out of context. Compared to the basket case of HUY, BOH is pretty successful. Look at the volume of movements, private flights, training, cargo, charter (has increased yoy), MRO facilities, head office for Jets, Av8, Signature, Cobham, Citation centre, Jet2cargo - this list not exhaustive. Plus scheduled services that although very seasonal have one of the highest pax to plane loads of some of the major airports in the UK - BHX, MAN, LHR, LGW, STN, LTN.
