I very much doubt the tax payer sees much of a return from the £3.45m support with passenger figures so low.
With the new motorway from Derry to Belfast open and the return of Ryanair to BFS and schedule increases with easyJet giving passengers a better choice with day returns and value for money, the passenger figures can only drop further in my opinion.

City of Derry Airport is owned by Derry City and Strabane District Council (DCSDC) and costs ratepayers £3.45m to help with operational costs, which is five per cent of the council's entire annual budget.

Hard to believe that over 16,000/month used to use the unsubsidised LDY-STN back in the day, and that at one point there were FR flights to both LTN and STN. Can’t help but feel the airport has painted itself into a corner.
