I mean, it's hard to say that getting terminal real estate is any easier than building an airport would be :-)

Good point. Which is evidenced by the fact that many airports aren't really 'in' the cities they are named for. Example: Cincinnati's CVG airport is actually in rural Kentucky. Cheaper land.

Not just "cheaper land" - also NIMBY because of the noise.

A budget of "tens of millions" would be eaten by a small airport alone (estimates for extending and overhauling Plymouth's airport to link to international traffic and handle up to 115-seaters are 30m GBP)
