Obviously, NQY didn't work for BA before. But that was before FR came in to the market. And time has passed, and Newquay and the surrounding area have developed quite a lot as a short break destination from the London area. So I have been wondering whether BA will effectively be exploiting the traffic in a market that FR has developed but no longer receives enough subsidies to serve?
