Don't get carried away by the large annual figures quoted i.e.680,000 pax and 170,000 tons of freight. On a daily basis that only amounts to 1863 pax and 466 tons of freight. Not sure how many 747 loads that equates to? 100 tons per load, sounds eminently achievable. Also I recall that from CAA statistics, EUJet were achieving in excess of 1000 pax per day before the plug was pulled on them.

Time will tell so no point in speculating until:

a. Planning go-ahead is given, and :

b. RSP make their detailed plans known.
