Bagso, I think you'll find that LBA has a catchment area nearly as big as MAN. Leeds Bradford York and Harrogate to name but a few are not small. I think the suggestion that WW might move to LBA was in retaliation to Jet2 moving into MAN to compete with WW. BMIR have an established base at LBA but no WW yet. As for small catchment areas how about MME and yet WW operate there.
