Not a serious suggestion but I thought that you were advocating the use of Biz Jets, not realising you were replying to a previous posters comments.I agree with you that there are aircraft which could operate from a limited runway but would the operators be prepared to do so.They would be taking a financial risk.What about the existing infrastructure, would it need a major upgrade for commercial operations to restart?
Finally are the majority of the Sheffield public demanding that passenger operations start again or have they got used to travelling to other airports.It was never a bucket and spade airport for people to fly off for their annual holiday.In regard to business aviation I have Multiflight on my doorstep and you only have to look at them and see how their business has expanded in the last 20 years.
