Bourgas is presumably BGH? With this and the IBZ signs of a levelling off in passenger traffic. If these work the next step is to build the charter traffic and try to obtain a critical mass of those holiday travellers who spend a bit in the terminal to attract more shops, etc.

In the mean time, make what you can from the rest of the site - car park not being used? yes, rent it out for caravans! Hangar under utilised? encourage Sycamore and their dismantling business. These are exactly the sort of things DTVA needs to be doing.

Next test will be what happens with the RGF, especially if it gets refused - be interesting to see what Peel do then. So sure they're interested in the land, but I still believe its more valuable with an airport attached.

(Hope this is positive enough for somebody north of the Tyne!)
