Viability of STN?
Here are a couple of your observations,selective possibly...but...
"Thomas Cook clearly hasn`t found long-haul at STN to be the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow as they have pulled it completely".
Regarding Emirates..."But it is an outlier in the long-haul market and their apparent success at STN is no sign that other long-haul ventures can work,just as they haven`t at Newcastle or Birmingham.
