Finally, to attract a LCC there has to be demand for the routes, as stated above if bread and butter routes like Palma are dropping, who's likely to be interested??
If a dozen routes as mentioned in the masterplan can attract upwards of 1m passengers per annum from the local community, then i would suggest a LCC might just be interested!
