Interesting to see some of the destinations being talked about, and I do use not use the phrase lightly.

A lot of us will recall the massive growth that EGCC was due to experience this summer, and then things came off the boil.

Flybe were talked about for the summer, as were numerous other new routes and carriers (Malev for an example).

Yes, KLM were talking about operating a Rotterdam service on 3 days a week (great for the businessman, not), and it would be good to see a twice daily flight being reinstated - to replace the previous VLM one.

Let's be honest though and think realistically. Does Manchester need yet another airline on Belfast? Will Damascus support 4 flights a week? Yes, I would love to see the airport offering a wider choice of destinations, but not at the risk of losing those carriers who have been loyal in developing existing routes in the face of the old British Airways NIMBYs.
