Point taken but, whatever way you look at it, not good news for LPL.
Apart from FR and EZY there are only a handful of other flights at the moment, the odd WIZZ, a Thomson every now and then and the IOM flights are at what seems like an all time low. I know that hopes are high for the AMS flights starting in a couple of months but they won't keep the airport going on their own. And still no London link.
It was always going to be a huge gamble basing expansion on the low cost airlines alone. I hope it pays off, but would not be surprised if the recently announced cuts turn out to be the thin end of a very long wedge. It is stating the obvious to say that the airport needs to do whatever it can to encourage more operators. I wonder what, if anything, there may be in the pipeline?
