Prophead, if you'd bother to read other peoples' posts properly, you would realise that the information about potential losses of a/c movements at regional airports came from the Commons Transport Committee and was quoted by those sources.
I'm well aware of where they came but have not seen any evidence to back this up, nor do I understand how LBA can lose so many international flights when the bulk is Jet2 traffic.
If LBA was to lose so many then would the management of the airport be so pro LHR expansion? I think not, in fact he has already summed up that figure as just scaremongering.

I would rather take his word for the future movements at LBA than 'Airport Watch'.
