rog747 and Canberra 73
Interesting points,but as stated before ,in reality how are Lolo operating a chartered F70 going to complete with Ryanair and Tui down the road at BOU,or to the point LGW on some of there proposed routes?.
Southampton has significant restrictions with runway length and airside a/c parking to attract major players for the Sun routes,and unless this changes radically then operators/start up operators like Lolo will come and quickly go.
Southampton has the transport links,but lacks the airside requirements to expand into a progressive regional airport that it should be ,with Flybe floundering ,will the airport break out from its underproforming position?,it's a big doubt!
