And Sion in the winter?
This is the kind of foresight that aviation really needs at the moment. Chateauroux has a population of over 40,000, and is more than 200km from the coast. If only 0.5% of the population decided to go the the beach at Margate every week then that would guarantee a load factor of more than 80% on a double daily (once saturday) J32. That's before considering tourists to London, outbound tourism, freight and of course the future possibility of easy Eurostar connections to Paris if the Ashford stop is reinstated. The potential is immense.
