Even if BB kept the main runway would a major airline now approach BB to operate services when there is no terminal to operate from, no fire cover, no equipment and no staff.

If BB agreed to build a new terminal, apron, fire station etc it would take a couple of years to sort out drawings, planning permission and to actually build it. By the time that was all done would the airline be still waiting?


Sorry but this makes no sense at all. If an airline did seek to operate from BLK, then they would know there was no terminal ect and they would know they would have to wait.


BB have said they are building a new terminal closer to the runway, that would have to be the main runway, the terminal would be no use to 3,294 ft runways, what would a terminal be used for.


As for you comment about an operator coming in and going out within a year, that is wild speculation and not even informed.


I doubt BLK will rise from the ashes - BUT if BB did sign up with a new operator it would have to pay - BLK had the pax, just nothing from Jet2 - That would never happen again as BB would not sign a loss making contract, and BLK CAN attract pax.
