the additional FR aircraft is a plus, but with no new routes just covering last summers routes that are returning and 2 extra flights per week to make CPH 6 times weekly isnt much. I am an avid supporter of the airport and having worked there and also used it on no end of occasions, all i want is for the place to develop. The only problem is that airlines are looking nowhere near the regions with the only exceptions made are the Daily CO flights out of BRS and the Daily EK out of NCL, apart from that most airlines concentrate on the primary airports of LHR, LGW, MAN, BHX, GLA, EDI, STN and LTN.

Saying that, i cant believe other airports such as MME and CWL can support 3+ daily services from KLM, while EMA doesnt get a sniff.

My question is 'Is the airport management being negligent to full service carriers????? Simple fact of the matter is the airport needs a hub feeder airline, whether that be Lufty or KLM or Air France
