Nothing definite yet, but encouraging if one or two hotel operators have been showing interest in opening up near the airport. Sure, the airport is tiny still, but as it hopefully grows in passenger numbers over the years a new hotel or two will add to the facilities down there and maybe encourage even more people to use the airport if they have decent overnight stay options before they fly the morning after.
It's an interesting article and drawing up a plan for the whole of the site clearly makes sense.
There is one decison looming that could be crucial. If the airport hits its targets and requires additional terminal capacity by 2025 do they extend the current terminal, as had been planned back in the BMI Baby days, or build a brand new one?
A new terminal in the south east corner of the airport would adjoin the VOG rail line and could include an integrated railway station. On the other hand, it would leave the terminal and the (current) car parking on opposite sides of the runway.
