I look at what BB have done with the ADC. Then I look at what Ryanair have done since they left BKL.
They said they were leaving BKL because they are the airline defending low fares, and the ADC they said could not be justified.
Yet a few weeks down the line they abolish all check in desks at UK airports saying all passengers will have to check in on line. They say that 75% of all pax do anyway.
So the Extra 25% will have to pre book seats in order to be able to check in, I except this will probably be more expensive than the BKL ADC because it will apply to all ages.
In other words a price hike brought in by stealth.
BB did invest £12 million when they bought the airport, with a runway that would give the BIG ONE just down the road a run for it's money.
So are BB any worse than Ryanair for setting up the ADC to protect their investment in the future?, I think charging airline more for landing would drive even the patient Jet2 away - Sooner than later.
