The reason that FR is not expanding at the rate they pledged previously is because of the greedy people at MAG who started to demand FR pay a matter of 'pounds' instead of 'pence' on the airport deal.
Doesn't strike me as being greedy. People here want penny airline fees and free passenger drop offs and for the airport to live off the profits from a cup of tea or magazine that might be bought by the odd passenger.

The reality is that Bournemouth would probably have a more profitable future by closing the terminal and becoming a general aviation airport with the lower costs that would bring. The MAG group did make an investment in a new terminal but as can be seen the money spent hasn't brought the passengers MAG had hoped for.

Public transport sucks from BOH so is it for the airport to also run bus and coach services to and from the airport?
