Local market - With London Access
Jabird
Kent is the UK's largest county with a population of 1.3M
East Sussex poulation .5M
2001 Audit, National Statistics.
I believe that Lydd has a strong local market with London access.
Based on an assumed cost per ASK of around 5 USC I think that for many routes (around 80%) the reduced DOC based on direct track savings (both in C and $) will be attractive to those operating on industry standard low margins.
Lastly I think that colleagues in the Air Traffic sections of this BB might be able to comment on the levels/delays that LTN and STN traffic is being held down to, I guess due to Clacton??
