For starters ​​​​​​the business community in the south, of which there are many, would gladly jump on a plane to the likes of Munich, Frankfurt and Brussels, yet instead they have to slog their way up to Gatwick and Heathrow. Munich has recently come to an abrupt end although as I understand the route was popular and yields increasing nicely. SOU airport placed on their twitter page months ago for feedback on a Brussels link but no more has been heard and other financial cities in Europe have come and gone. For an airport that prides itself on business connectivity instead of bucket and spade, the destinations for corporates in the south are not overly well served and the airport I am certain could do better!
