EZY will never go to Bournemouth and never go to Manchester. Liverpool, Bristol and Gatwick ably cover those catchments
I didn't get an "O" level in geography, but do Bristol and Gatwick have the same catchment that Bournemouth has?
Manchester "catchment" like it or not is "Regional" , ie Brum[ish] to Carlisle[ish]-Merseyside[ish] to Yorks/Lincon[ish]
Liverpool [unfortunately] is a "Local" airport. [Don't get me wrong, I've worked at LPL, and thoroughly enjoyed it] But the facts are that MAN will get the lions share of the traffic.
One thing that the supporters/promotors of LPL forget.....The more traffic, the more the slot system delays the said traffic.
I don't know the facts and figures, but I bet that VLM have had "some" delays entering the London TMA
