Where did this come from?
As previous post 2521 says ,a lot more to be done!
You didn’t seriously think the airport would be attracting 1.5-2.0m pax in 2024 surely? From the low levels of 200k as a result of BE/Covid, as I have mentioned previously the airport will hit 1m next year and this will likely become incremental over the next few years, adding hopefully the routes you mention above and more. If I remember correct, weren’t you the one who always banged on about the runway extension being more for those incumbent airlines and operating their fleets economically as opposed to the airport being able to attract new business!
