LBA has no room to grow and is loss making. It is owned by an investment company. It is on a hill has a runway at 90 degress to the prevailing wind, suffers from low cloud/fog. It is only a matter of time before it becomes a housing estate or retail park, all flights will be then operating out of the massive new Yorkshire airport at DSA. The good folk of Yorkshire would much rather travel there than take the painful journey across the pennines to MAN.
