"I can't see any more low cost baes in the UK "

Well bmi baby have stated publicly that they are on the search for a new UK base, with a launch data of spring 2003. Buzz are supposedly looking for a 2nd UK base and today MyTravel announced the launch of its own low-cost airline with a Summer 2003 start-up. Add to that the 75 a/c that the EZY/Go combo are rummoured to be ordering, which surely are not all destined for EU bases and you have to think that there will be more UK bases over the next years.

As for where, look for under-utilised airports that are in or within 60 mins of large population areas and which have traditionally lost out to larger neighbours. Leeds, Teesside, Humberside or if developed Finningley all fit the bill in my local area alone.
