Carlisle future

Interesting developments!

Can someone with more local knowledge me...confirm/deny that there is a 10 year lease on the airport,which ends december? meaning after that time the site does not have to have aviation development?
surely Stobs. could move in after then and turn the site in to a transport centre(surely their preferred option?) I heard this a few yeaRS ago
but not sure if correct?

carlisle has never handled more than 10000pax. in any year and probably a lot less than that. No profits there then?
If newcastle cant hold on to a stansted service with 120000+ pax a year then what hope carlisle to southend?

Im afraid the halcyon days of aviation have gone and the future for airfields of this size are bleak..just look across the hills to teesside/mme/dtv!!
