Nice to see that the Government can look in to the future and see what routes would have been operated at Coventry had the terminal been built. Nice to really see that the government believe in the freedom of choice:
"There is an alternative airport only a few miles from Coventry Airport offering services to similar destinations"
Also, if this is to be a yardstick then the Government will surely be restricting growth at Liverpool and Blackpool Airports as they offer the same routes as Manchester and at Luton Airport, for offering similar routes to Stansted:
"They agree that passenger services at Coventry Airport would largely duplicate services which are already provided at Birmingham International Airport."
