Our local council handed over the reigns of our local airport (Plymouth) to a local property developer, and there was a hidden clause that if after 3 years they couldn't make the airport pay they could build houses on it. So the inevitable happened, despite previously being a profitable airport, the take over caused it to lose money and guess what the local developer (Sutton Harbour Group SHG) wants to do. There is so much corruption in councils and all forms of government. SHG asset stripped the airport by selling off the landing spots at the large destination airports, Plymouth being a feeder airport, and leave it with no connections. They basically killed it. The fight back has been massive and will continue.
Really sorry to hear about this. Jobs shouldn’t be at risk..however do we need so many airports in the UK when we need more land to build more houses as so many people need accommodation
It's not profitable or it's been deliberately put in a position so it's not profitable? Because the land it stands on is worth more (bigger profits) than running it as an airport?
Peel Airports did the same with Teesside. As soon as they took over it went down, with the intention of selling it for development. Our local MPs bought it and now it's steadily growing.

In the grim dark future, only our betters will fly.
it's not going to be saved, net zero demands less air flights, and by less air flights they mean us plebs, the more northern the better
S Y Mayor made promises he could never keep.
