With such major changes in industry structure, something has to give. The pandemic has simply broken the previous magic spell that all seemed fine. Anglesey, Cambridge, Carlisle, Gloucestershire and Oxford airports were little more than artificially sustained facades as regards commercial passenger service. Other airports will also be called out.
What does this even mean? At all of these airfields, scheduled operations have been peripheral, transient activities which don't really impact on the main business. Their presence or absence is no indicator of wider industry health.

Threads such as these have been started by a similarly named forum member before, for many years.
Maybe there needs to be a seperate 'DJ6 questions' forum!
