Thanks Skyman....here here!
Its been interesting watching this thread from the side lines these last couple of weeks. I'm confident there are plans in the pipeline that will secure the current airport traffic and build on it, as DTV Airport has suggested.
The problem for the public, or a forum like this is, it is now a case of "the boy who cried wolf". No-one is going to believe any positive news about the future (based on internet postings and management
PR) until the actions start to happen and the benefits are realised. No benefit in criticising those that are more certain about the future than others; let's simply wait and see what happens. There are two realities right now:
- There are credible plans in place to sustain the airport.
- Peel have little or no track record on delivery on such plans for MME.
Either Peel's success rate will continue or they will finally deliver on a project that sustains (or even grows) an airport for the future. One thing I am certain of is that local management believe in the plans, are working hard on them and aim to deliver them. Whether they are competent to do that and whether this puiblic image counters a contradictory, more clandestine motive elsewhere in the Peel group is another debate.
