"The simple fact is we don’t have enough people living here to justify a low-cost carrier coming in more than they do. They need to fill that aircraft to 96% plus every single time it flies, so in 200-seater aircraft you are looking at 180 people plus every time.We do try really hard but we are up against it as you have European airports all around the place pitching for an aircraft but they might have a population of two million within driving distance of the airport and we have only got 500,000.“It puts us way down the pecking order.”
