Jason Schofield, chief executive of Sutton Harbour Holdings Plc shares his thoughts

Jason Schofield, chief executive of Sutton Harbour Holdings Plc, which owns the leasehold of the former Plymouth airport site, said: “Every independent report commissioned before and since the airport closed nearly three and half years ago has demonstrated beyond all doubt that it is not viable. Rather than waste taxpayer’s money as part of a pre-election stunt to curry favour with the electorate, we suggest the Government read those reports and, as previous operators, we are confident they will draw the same conclusion. There is no prospect of it re-opening because it simply cannot function as a self-sustaining regional airport.” Go back to previous page
