- competition from other airports is increasing as they know they have to offer deals and attract locos rather than rely on history
- regional flying is becoming very difficult (not just here and not just because of APD and improved rail links, but all over Europe).
-increased cost sensitivity tends towards centralising the operations of locos at bigger airports
- many other reasons!

Aviation may be growing, but not in every sector and not at every airport.
