I think expansion is on hold if the airport like it or not for a few years to come (same for every other airport). What was a year of nil growth will turn into a year of negative growth. The remaining operators will pick and choose, thin routes won't be reinstated, historically thick routes will get thinner and prices will go up. Less competition, fuel prices and the economy doing what its doing all contributing to the biggest slow down in the industry ever. Quite a few years before any growth me thinks.
