Some very seriously delusional daydreaming going on here. Emirates at MME? Supermarkets moving in? Stobarts buying the airfield? 3x daily to Southend?
For goodness sake......
It isn't making money, has it's worst pax numbers (and continuing to slide) since the airport was but 10 years old etc etc
The airl;ines that were there either pulled the routes or went bust. That should tell you something. There is no anti-MME sentiment from NCL or LBA I suspect but they are commercial organisations that compete for the same traffic and people are voting with their feet.
With no pax services (if they do go) it is over for MME. The market isn't big enough andthe whole "but I don't want to go an hour up the road" won't sustain anything, you'll just be sitting at home soon. Get real.
