My question is, how much has the London PSO actually cost? I know £2.5 million was set aside but this is only called upon if the route is not viable. The route seems well supported so what has been the cost and how much if any is needed going forward. Presumably something since the Council are complaining about it.
And would BMI Regional not continue the route in the absence of a PSO since it is now established?
BHD and BFS don't require PSOs, Ryanair didn't require one for 18 years at LDY.
"It's the economy stupid" and closing the airport isn't going to improve anything.
I've brought up the same point previously but I've just been rebuffed, being told that it must not be viable. I would say with Loadfactors of 75+ (%) would say otherwise.
