I'm sorry, but skydiving is so incompatible with any other activity it should never have been at the airport to start with. It was a very large square peg trying to fit into a very small round hole.
Anyone with any form of aviation knowledge would know that a skydiving operation would never work at an airport with any form of other activity, let alone jet traffic and scheduled services. This is why most operate from their own airfields with very little else going on.
It was doomed to fail from the outset.
