No doubt time will tell..... The runway and associated works will not be finished until the end of this dry (or maybe a bit longer?) so any interest from flying schools or maintenance facilities have a bit of time to think about it, providing they get their EOI in early. There is plenty of potential at MBA, especially for GA and private owners as the $$ in CNS is making operating from there somewhat expensive. The new airport owners don't seem to care about GA. They want to bulldoze the GA side and put shops there! As if CNS needs more shops!

My understanding that the CPA sold the airport to finance a new hospital - that has not happened
