Wasnt it MAN who origionaly didnt want Easyjet? Anyway beside the point i think there is a huge market to tap in Manchester for EZY flights, would that dent the lpl operations at all?
I cant now see any reason they wouldnt go to MAN, the reason they started at LPL was because they discovered the huge potential of the area with the cheaper less busy airport! They were the brains behind the LPL expansion not Peel!
