LGG is already a well used airport. MST is very quiet. That has always been a mystery. A few charter airlines have tried to utilise MST even easy jet have tried regular flights. The local tax-payers spend fortunes on what must be a huge loss making under-used airport. There is a strong anti-noise lobby. Geographically it's in a good place. 30 years ago there were night freight operations and slowly they we're all bumped out to LGG. There was a KLM subsidiary flying F50's on schedule ops, but went bust. There are cross-border pax, with Belgium & Germany increasing Dutch. Eindhoven seems to have struggled its way out of the grip of the noise huggers, but MST still has to succeed in that. It plugs a gap between NRN, DUS, CRL, BRS, EIN. If it's not necessary then close it, but stop it haemorrhaging money.
