And yet someone has started it and wants to run European services. Economic payback is incredibly difficult to quantify as can be wealth over hundreds of years. How much has the Yorkshire region lost in terms of wealth by having a sub 3 million passenger airport while MAN has been growing from 15 million upto well above 20million for 40+ years?
Without knowing where clarty waters is it is difficult for me to assess your economic 'non starter' stance. I think it would be an economic masterstroke for Yorkshire. My point is just get the ball rolling with the most basic passenger airport and see what happens. The minimum spend.
