Interesting interview, good effort to get the meeting and the companies viewpoint out there - does beg the question as to who signed the contracts which meant the airport lost money every time an airliner landed, and also where most of the other sources of revenue were tied up long term?

Much is made of Mr Rankin's attitude but he has a point - where are the small, regional airports coining it in? and Carlisle, Etihad Regional and a freight hub - really? Also, any success BOH is having is because it is a small airport in the middle of an aviation related industrial estate.
