I'm not sure that was exactly a "wish list", more of a comment.

We all know a fair chunk of that list will not re-appear for a long time, if ever, as tourism in most of the former Yugoslavia region collapsed as a result of the Balkan war. Most UK regional airports had Yugoslavia services before and few do now.

The popular tourist-destinations which have replaced them are exactly the ones being targeted by Astreus and which have generally been very poorly served from LBA. As LBA stated we are actually looking at decent program (for LBA) for S06 and there is reason to be optimistic that this trend will continue. Astreus opening up new destinations by providing a low-risk method for IT companies to offer small amounts of capacity from LBA seems to be the way forward.
