Can someone link the £4.1M investment please?

I remember Hangar 90 becoming a centre of turboprop excellence, the Queen rolling out the J41 etc. Behind the PR, the practicalities of making money in this business are very harsh. PIK3141 makes a great case, there is a load of commercial non passenger traffic using the business.

Are we mainly in agreement that IF they can match cost base to income then we've got a chance of turnaround? The key disagreement is those who hanker to hang onto terminal traffic and passengers, I think that's dragging the rest down. Downsize to profitability is the only way surely? Keep mainteneance, local flying, training, cargo, GA, Biz, none of which need the ancient terminal and get out of that £ hole. No airline I can see will ever put enough passengers through PIK to turn a profit let alone an ROI to fix that dilapidated terminal.

Anyone think that's inaccurate and if so, name your airline?
