It would be interesting to know if and how much this is costing the tax payer?

So one person steps down and two people are recruited. I’m sure the accountants have done their sums to make it financially viable.

To ‘Flymo’.
I don’t think you quite understand. The “two others” referred to in the article are existing members of staff not additional members of staff as you have assumed. In fact, two members of staff are about to leave (Airport Director and Harbourmaster)and are being replaced by one – Mr Bannister.
