Future

I won't enter the debate about housing, but one can't ignore the financial situation at the airport. Recent reports suggested from inside that it won't be allowed to continue idefinitely. Regardless of what we outsiders see as missed opportunities or failings; unless we see material financial improvement soon, either in actual terms or in future prospects, I would struggle to see a reason why the owners would pump in cash beyond next summer.

In summary...if we haven't heard of new routes/money making opportunties by the end of next year's 'busy' season, I can't see the airport being sustained for much longer thereafter.

All the while NCL continues to expand making it even harder for MME to develop the routes it needs.

Its the last chance saloon - lets hope someone has a grand plan which is about to turn around the fortunes.
