I've had an idea to boost passenger numbers... tell the spotter and airplane geek community that this may be their very last chance to fly to/from MME and that they should book a flight to Aberdeen or Amsterdam *now*. The boost in passenger numbers will be so great, that airlines will then come flooding back to MME and open up new routes, saving the airport !
As they say in Hollywood films, it's a long shot but it just might work !
