That was an insightful and thoughtful post Latitude. It is precisely that sort of thinking, that I am afraid is currently lacking. I am beginning to think that the terminal structure, is now becoming the issue, with the thought of- ah, big terminal, big runway, it needs passengers. Well yes, but PIK needs movements, and movements that will provide revenue. I personally feel that the days of large pax numbers at PIK are over, never to return. Perhaps a hub of diverse operators, running a mix of what you described. Heli ops/freight/industry specific business ops/ floatplanes/, anything that generates biz. GLA and EDI now service all pax ops. Niche service may well be the future..
