highwideandugly, Carlisle and Coventry are still in business and both had a few passengers at one time. It would take more than the loss of a few passenger flights to see the place turned into a housing estate. I would imagine that if passenger numbers drop off it would not be cost effective to limp along with only the odd Jetstream and harsh decisions would be made, but the airport will almost certainly survive in some form. Do you think MME would close completely if passenger flights ended?
