Since the new management took over the airfield, it has undergone renovations, including restaurant upgrades and new events like music and aviation displays. A recent proposal seeks to convert staff accommodation into short-term lets for visiting pilots and enthusiasts.

They express concerns over security justifications and environmental impacts, suggesting the proposal might lead to further commercial expansion without regard for local residents or ecological issues.
