Look at MAN in 2009, almost all routes chopped and capacity increased at LPL, LBA and EMA: https://www.ft.com/content/70c9ae02-...0-00144feabdc0

They know they can get what they want because of the volume of pax and thus revenue they bring to their airports. It's entirely for the PR and nothing to do with profitability of the routes themselves.
