The whole issue is a lot more complicated. We, in the UK, have chosen to adopt a market-led air transport system rather than one which works in accordance with any strategic, integrated transport plan. LBA is not alone in witnessing the effects of this. How many passengers per year drive from their homes close to Manchester Airport to take flights from Liverpool, Stansted, Gatwick, or EMA because it is cheaper? Market-led solutions to the provision of any public service have similar outcomes - short-term consumer value and choice, medium term chaos, long-term damage.
