If the flights are there at the right price, the pax will come. After all, just look at Luton, a miserable pax experience but fully utilised by 18m pax.

So is that what everyone here wants. Just pile them in and mimic Luton with a race to the bottom, has no one heard of a balance? How will the local roads cope? It has always struck me that the airport is in the middle of a built up area so the locals can look forward to gridlocked streets. Has SEN got room for a parallel taxiway?
