Tsk Rutan, must every conversation assume that I only have interest in one airport? I have my own preferences around which I prefer to travel through, but as a Lancastrian by birth I favour the fortunes of the North West in general and spent much of my youth at either one airport or the other. Having been heavily involved in student campaigns across the North in the past, I found the article interesting as I was unaware of a Government attraction target ( indeed I suggest that was not publicised during the Brexit campaign, funnily enough).As I understand it, there are a number of planned charters from Junao in the near future which are likely to be student related, hence it does impact MAN and the likelihood of converting charters to scheduled services.
