Glad Coventry will survive, – but…..

Anyway, the relative merits of reinforced concrete carbuncles aside, I’m glad to hear that Coventry Airport will survive. For now. The wider issue of councils regarding every single aerodrome as a ‘Brownfield development site’ is probably the bigger issue. So many airfields have been destroyed, mainly because greedy property developers see an easy buck to be made. In that situation, the back-handers start flying around.
Councils are notoriously inept.
I’d certainly agree with an earlier comment about it being very difficult for aerodrome operators to make a profit, which makes aerodromes very vulnerable to attack. One tactic is also for speculators to buy aerodromes, and then deliberately run them into the ground as justification to build-over them.
Aerodrome operators deserve – and need – every bit of support they can muster.
