Success to continue, say airport bosses
Passenger numbers in the year ahead are to grow to 110,000 or more and direct flights are planned to a series of European hotspots. And airport promoters say when the 250,000 target is reached, they’ll be aiming for a 500,000 throughput.
Airport chairman Nicky Fewer said it has been a significant year for the airport but the best is yet to come. “We have had good times but next year will be the icing on the cake. It is then that we will see its true impact regionally and nationally,” Mr Fewer vowed.
