We have all heard the stories, and I am also aware that a business decision was taken to turn away some business over the last couple of years.
DSA is not the only airport that has turned away business, do your minutes show why they decided to turn away said low-cost airline? Could it be that they were requesting subsidies to do so at a time when Wizzair U.K. had already agreed to expand there, thus causing concern of saturating an already delicate market?
The previous suggestion from G-FORZ is similar, that airlines should cannibalise their own market.. We wouldn’t have many airlines around if they employed that sort of business model.
