Obviously I don’t know the economics of running an airline and certainly not from CWL.
The chances of inward investment anywhere outside of London given the double-whammy the UK is headed for, one of which entirely self inflicted, are remote. CWL certainly needs connectivity to N.I, Glasgow and Edinburgh, as well as at least a couple of the major European hubs, one of which (Amsterdam) is already covered. Connectivity into the Aer Lingus transatlantic hub will eventually (after the USA gets Covid-19 under control) also be a must I'd have thought.
