I mention Manchester because the city and its suburbs are MAN's primary catchment area. However, my question remains... what do the people of the region want from MAN ?
One could make MAN into something very leisure O&D focussed, optimising it for flights to the likes of Tenerife, its most popular route... or you could focus on connectivity to a large number of different airports. MAN (like any airport) cannot be optimised for all airlines, all routes and all passengers... a decision has to be made on what MAN should be long term. There will always be a difference between what a LCC wants, and what a long haul network airline wants... and MAN cannot keep all the people happy all the time.
So what do people in the region want from MAN ?
