Hangars can easily be converted to factory units if the airport closes. How big will these hangars be anyway? Will they be airline size or just for light aircraft?
As an outsider who looks at this thread now and again so no doubt I miss much of the detail it just strikes me as a strange investment plan and that Peel have all but thrown in the towel with regard to offering passenger services.
Get rid of the passengers and the cargo aircraft, close the terminal with all the cost savings that would make, reduce the fire cover to a minimum and turn the airport into a light aircraft general aviation airfield. Reduce the maintained runway length and width to cut maintenance bills and job done. .
