Suzeman,all,
STN was propped up by BAA, no doubt from profits made at full fare airport LHR.
With that sort of money now going to dry up, I wonder what MAN sees in owning a mostly low cost airport. Business reports suggest it might cost the new owners over £1 billion to buy.
Low cost airports don't make much money, repeated attempts by full fare airlines to succeed at STN have mostly failed ,as business travellers just don't want to commute their it seems.
Will the cargo revenue at STN deliver enough cash to make MAN venture worth while ?
