When London Airways served Manchester, indeed any of the area outside of the M25 without just putting you on AC to LHR, then regional airports worked for those who used them for business, rather than the yearly trip or indeed more to the Costas. If London Airways made money on these regional services I do not know, but I was a regular on the JFK flight for a while back in late 90;s and on BMI service to Chicago in early 2000 and both services were well patronized. I now use the LH service to MUC, and indeed other LH services into Germany, along with EK and SQ but will not ever be returning to BA, as this concentration on LHR really does not work, if you are not in the Home Counties. The rest of us will just use, to be honest the better alternatives, going to other points supplied by the likes of LH/KLM/SAS/ Finnair along with the longer haul services who serve MAN well, indeed pre COVID better than LHR BA service.
