If you are talking about Blackpool, there has always been an identity problem of whether they want to be a little airport or a big airport. My interest [ I come from Blackpool] stems from the time I used to pop down on my way to school to watch the Autair Ambassador doing engine runs prior to its departure to Luton. I must say that no matter how many thousands of light aircraft movements take place the revenue return is what matters. Besides ...after 5 years at EGGP I realised that light aircraft drivers are more switched on than anyone gives them credit for.....they do not need gross overcontrol. If you doubt the economic argument, check the respective revenue flow when Airbridge did the newspaper runs . GOOD LUCK!
