Don't get me wrong here I would love to see new routes ex NQY as you all know but we all have to appreciate that NQY will never break even based on passenger number.
The way it will turn things around is from other activities which they are in the process of adding too.
Apple Aviation, I think are having a new facility built
Bristow SAR base
AW SAR training base
They need to continue to diversify, attract some cargo/mail flights, MX base, take advantage of the vast amounts of space they have available etc
im fairly certain that they could easily host any sort of concerts on the RAF side of the base without too much problem because of the space they have available.
the odd extra flight will come as the economy picks up, but the airfield is never going to survive on commercial flights alone.
