I guess I’m trying to challenge this thought process.

That it’s all and only about what the airline wants. That the airport can do nothing.

Turning this on its head, the airline frankly doesn’t care where the passengers came from, just that they did.

I will again ask why Warsaw is advertised as a connection point NYC to PEK but Manchester isn’t.

It’s not because the “connection” cannot be done, it’s because nobody even considers it because it isn’t advertised.

That’s marketing, not airline operations.

This has to be ripe for disruption.
