Just about to make same observation :
The airport says it plans to boost annual passenger numbers to 200,000 by 2020 and to double that figure to 400,000 by 2050.
If this isn't enough fodder for those that wish the airport to close it's door to commercial operations then I really can't see what is !
Also in press was comment by transport minister as to the poor transport infrastructure to DTV, no mention or intention as to the role that Peel & local councils have played (or not) in their improvement.
One thing you can't blame for drop in numbers are the travelling public as they can only use those air services that are put in front of them.
Who mentioned the Titanic ?
