The now current Wizz offering to eastern Europe isnt as expansive as it was five years ago.

TUI will have a limit to their offering. Realistically will it ever grow larger than it is today? I'd wager no, but I could be wrong

Other than that, there's no one left in terms of passenger offering, no one will touch the place

18 cargo flights operated last month according to the stats. Plus the general aviation.

What really gets me is that Peel borrowed the money for the terminal extension from the local authorities as it was needed to get the Wizz base. What a waste that has been.


​​​​​​Has been mentioned elsewhere but don't forget the DSA MD quit out of the blue a couple of weeks ago. I'm guessing everything is linked.
