I absolutely support this idea, understanding that there are maybe only 4 wide body gates so this would be an airport you would need to invest time in. Similar to sxm. Lots of regional and mid range flights. The AN 148 has been making a yearly visit here. Usually a week, sometime in a 6 week window, late April to early June. Don’t know if russ ukr situation has stopped that.
