Topcover,
Is your job title - "Waterford Airport Information Manager"?
EH Hello, I agree with your sentiments on the mainline routes interms of how much traffic has changed. However I would say,it was long beleived the WAT-LON route held an almost uptapped market. FR managed 3 flights per day, early morning, lunchtime and late evening. From the figures so far, EIWF is quickly heading back that way. Regional routes I beleive in Ireland are less effected by fares and schedules than mainline routes. The simple logic here being still not so wonderful road networks and rail connections generally routing direct to Dublin City Centre. So most people are not too bothered providing they are not flying in the middle of the night.
Cheerio
