Worth a read folks....

A lot of repetition in there but not much detail on how they will succeed. Yes, it is clear what they want to do - but how they are going to attract a charter company or an LCC isn't. The report goes to say the best way to get an LCC is to get one to relocate so that they can dominate the region and not take passengers from their own operation elsewhere. Given that won't be Jet2, it seems they hope to persuade EasyJet to relocate from Newcastle. Ballsy? Or Cloud Cuckoo?

The suggestion is charters may be a slow and steady increase for now, but nothing material on that.

Lots of highly paid consultancy speak in there, the odd glaring factual error, will sound fantastic to Joe Public, but in my opinion this is a long shot and lacking teeth (though full of fluff). That said, I would back this if the alternative is closure in 2021....
