I guess expansion plans are a little out of the question.

This is what could have happened to SWA in Burbank.

The BBC reported that it hit a fuel depot used for jet fuel, ie the fuel farm at the airport. I can't see any other reason that the fire would burn that long if it was just a building as it said in the report.

Typical foreign operation! Heavy rain and a 6300 foot runway coupled with inexperienced pilots...
