North-South Air link
Yet more subsidies! Yet more public money going into new CWL route development. I thought the aviation industry had moved away from this anti competitive rubbish. Government subsidies to state airlines in Europe have been stamped out. How can this be justified by the Welsh Assembly?
Airlines run on a demand/supply basis. If the demand/potential for a route exists, it will be served by some airline or other. If not, tough. CWL will just have to be content with being a small regional airport catering mainly for charter traffic. Too many people on this thread seem to think the responsibility lies with airport management to "attract" new routes. Only Twin Aisle seems to have any concept of how the airline industry works.
The truth is that it should depend on one thing only; the ability of the demographic of the catchment area to sustain a route.
