Or maybe you could all look on the positive side for once and stop spouting utter misery and negativity. Never known a forum be filled with people who constantly look for a negative
Or maybe the perceived negativity could be tackled by addressing the points raised?
2Excel isn't a bad shout. Location is good for their Coastguard work and gives some steady work rather than having to fill five hangars from a standing start, but the timing probably isn't great. I've not read the planning permission yet - is the attention to build them all at once or is it a phased development?

Elsewhere, in Ryanair news, we still seem to be missing Faro and Corfu for next year. Several weeks in, only Palma and Alicante are on sale.
Timing or have the routes gone?

Corfu base isn’t on sale yet - and it looks like only select routes from Faro are available so far (and from other bases)

I would say a good start. Would have been nice to be greedy and got the complete operation. But great news.
It's going to be interesting when we have daily Da 20s, L 159s and now the occasional 727 flight thrown in.

One of the planning documents contains this comment - anybody know any more?
Willis Aviation has invested at TIA in 2020 and again during 2022, as follows:
• 2020 – to develop an aircraft disassembly and storage facility, located in Hangar 1. This involved the recruitment of approximately 15 FTE staff.
• 2022 - building on the success of the 2020 investment, to create a Regional Aircraft Maintenance Centre within Hangar 2. This project includes the relocation from Hangar 1 and will create up to 45 new aviation related engineering FTE’s and safeguard the 15 jobs created in 2020.

The planning permission for the new Willis development has a dedicated "aircraft tear-down area", so it's still a part of the business plan even if it is currently on hold.
