Some interesting and highly irrelevant banter.

The beneficiaries of the law suit could be anyone. We don't know who might have assigned their rights to the proceeds in all the various deals that have gone on, but one thing is for sure, if it doesn't have to be paid to the current operators they won't see a penny.

NCL and LBA have squeezed DTV out and other than those who live nearby there is little if anything that they can offer over their rivals.

The Military will never move there in a month of Sundays and I can't see how the airport can return to profit. There are no routes to fly to places folks want to go and without footfall and pax there won't be any.

Given the economy, the growth of LBA and NCL over the years and the complete decline of DTV, what, apart from blind optimism, can the airport operators do now?
