I have already stated on the Norwich post that they won't apart from oil related (helis and Eastern) and the TUI flights they currently have. It is very difficult to make money flying even BHX-GLA etc.

There are/have been many airports that have no hope of sensible levels of traffic. DTV,NWI,DSA ( while LBA exist anyway), EXT, CWL ( while Bristol exists) HUY etc. They can only survive by diversification ( maintenance, aircraft parking etc. or local or government subsidy ( which PIK does along with many others e.g. INV, SYY). Especially with BREXIT and rising fuel costs.
