I read the Telegraph on Friday. The paper had a major section on the new casino, and said that Blackpool airport would benefit greatly from the casino, with major airline being interested in the future rise in traffic.
Maybe abit carried away about some of the carriers, but with the only major casino in UK, and will surely attract many rich people from around Europe, who wouldn't be seen dead on Ryanair or any other LC carrier. The people who are too snobby to realise how good LC airlines are.
I know that many of the visitors will use MAN where the national carriers are alot greater, but surely there will be one of these carriers will see the demand of these people, and take advantage.
