What are the rumours regarding T1? I understand that T1 is due to close in 2025 once the T2 transformation is complete, but is there some other plan being considered?

I wonder if it was an airline, rather than a competing airport, that made the complaint? Perhaps a carrier is unhappy with the aerodrome charges.
