Ghost Airport Rises Like Phoenix; A good indication of the recovery unfolding

Another angle to the story is the claim the airport was intended to fail and was only built to provide money for the construction companies.

If that is the case the chances of the runway being able to survive the landings and insurance requirements of hugely heavy transport jets are not very high in my estimation.

There is also the issue of there only being one runway and if that is sufficient for that location. Potentially aircraft could be grounded there for weeks on end waiting for the wind to change.

Absolutely, a dodgy investment no doubt about it and like I said another failed Keynesian type of one. When will we learn that they just don't work.

As for the runway which is one of the longest in Europe the pavement construction specifications are written around the larger loads so I wouldn't get too concerned about its load bearing capacity. As for the wind direction well it doesn't have have the luxury of multi-runways, you would like to think that they took the prevailing winds into consideration as a design input for the runway orientation. On the other hand maybe the Design Manger was a Keynesian and he didn't.

Only a one month to go to settlement, will be interested to see if it fly's.

As for A380's, I fly in them frequently, nice machines but I don't rate the passenger experience that highly.

It appears also that there is no way in hell that airport will be sold for 10,000 Euros. Instead if nobody else comes forward the new operators will be able to use the site, have to clean it up, develop it and so forth.

Bargain of the year? It appears not so far.

I know that you really don't want this sale to go through but its not up to you or me whether it does or not. Its as if it was me that was selling it the way that you want it to fail so badly. I dont know why I bother at times but see below for my earlier post on the judges ruling on the sale handed down in the commercial court.

The judgement was that the current low and only offer will be accepted provided that a higher offer of not less than 28 million euro ie 70% of the valuation is received by the 15th September and that the current bidders additional undertakings to clean up the site and convert it to a freight facility are honoured.

This means that if a further offer that meets the above requirements is not received by the due date, its a done deal.

I've long had a theory that luuldapul and bardon are different aspects of the same person, one bearish and one bullish. Don't know why someone would do this though. Seems totally illogical.

I was thinking Bardon might be a trainee spruiker of some kind. After all what is the point in bringing up a one month old news story about a German bank on an Australian property forum?? Then again if he is unable to read the story correctly presumably he would not get the job anyway...........

Lulldapul appears to be a skilled airfix model maker, and with his use of Social worker news, continual put downs of ordinary working people, claims of huge earnings in positions of responsibility, and almost childishly foul language something does not add up somewhere or other.

No that's your job and that's why you must hang around here and keep the trainee on the straight and narrow.

They coild always use the runway for light aircraft and build a residential development on the site. Maybe that's the ultimate plan? Or just some tax dodge or scam to sell shares.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
