Agreed. I did LTN~IOM~LTN last Saturday (delayed by the fog) and back today. Both at 50% load.
The problem that the island has is that they were thrilled to welcome new services to STN + LCY and are now wondering why the LTN + LGW routes are thin! There is, I suggest, a very clear limit on traffic to the South East. Those that need the charter and euro holiday routes have BHX + MAN + LPL at their disposal.
There is no way that EZY will be able to provide service and that has been known for years.
