runwayedge, I think we may have clashed before on an RE issue before when I suggested in Cork they should be moved off to the side to make room for TA traffic and more rotation etc?
My comment on that I could not get why RE did LTN instead of LCY was posed as a question, this is a discussion forum after all, and not as a swipe at RE.
It has since been answered by Cyrano by way of an excellent break down of landing fee's and crew retraining feee's etc and by nedin who plumped in with the PSO subsidies. I didn't realise this route, WAT - LTN, fell in under this scheme?? I remember seeing before a break down that was published in the national papers here of the subsidies that RE get. One year it worked out at something like €463 (or was in punts?, cant remember) per passenger they carried on the DUB - GWY or was in Donegal (CFN) route. Similar sort of figure but a bit less on all the other routes.
Back to the point of the thread anyway..............
