Really?
How can you say that, Pain in the R's...

We've got the 3 new summer leisure routes from Easyjet ALC PMI and FAO - maybe more to come...
The 186 seat Airbus A320 needs that 164m, so there is some comfort to take so far.

It's a start in a very difficult and economical climate, also with escalating travel issues possible to the Eastern Med destinations.
So to have an extra market for Spain and Portugal maybe fruitful.
