Quite a few interesting points in this article about the airports finances
Balfour Beatty have invested £27 Million since 2008
Losses were £4.5 Million per year
Now reduced to £2 Million per year
One extra based 'holiday jet' could lead to break even
Extra 20,000 passengers expected in 2013
Jet 2 are selling an average 95% of seats on each flight they have from BLK

Some pretty large sums of money there, and clearly a major and essential step forward in more than halfing the losses in the past five years. Balfour Beatty are clearly taking a long term view with their investment. Also interesting how an extra based B737 or similar could potentially eliminate the remaining £2 million annual loss
