Fair point, my comment was a bit flippant. To be more specific, I suspect it might be fair to say that SOU lives and dies by its popularity with the general public as a worthwhile airport, whereas it is probably more ancillary for BOH. I'm sure Ryanair aren't paying BOH very much, and 700k does not sound as impressive if you know they are all paying a few quid to fly. Saying that, if SOU does not sort itself shortly then I am sure BOH will benefit by default.
