Dan Maltby said the airfield had become a sad and spooky place and it was rare for him to bump into anyone now during his 12 hour shifts.
The airport's 50,000 passengers a day in the summer has now dropped to 300.
And its hundreds of ground staff, pilots and cabin crew are furloughed.

The Scottish Labour leader has written to the Scottish Human Rights Commission asking it to ensure that their human rights are upheld and defended.
He also asked it to look into decisions taken by the Scottish government to determine whether there have been any violations.
Mr Leonard said in his letter: "One of the greatest tragedies of Covid-19 is the impact on older people, particularly in care homes.
"We cannot bring back the victims but we must seek answers to what went wrong and establish whether the rights of older people were compromised."
