VentureGo, you've completely twisted that out of proportion, there are genuine and valid reasons for the axing of charter flights, a single weekly rotation for six months of the year was never going to be profitable, if an operator was prepared to base an aircraft then that's a completely different storey, but no operator in the present climate is going to do that, God knows the airport has tried to persuade them enough times!
You try running a business at a loss, see how far you get before you have to take drastic measures in order to survive!
