paarmo, for as long as the Peel Airports people insist on taking up legal cases against airline customers (bmibaby at TeesSide, easyJet at LPL about their move into MAN and a really silly legal dispute with a tour operator) then I think the prospect of new airlines rushing to take up any opportunities at their airports will be very limited. No other airport group has taken actions of this nature and until the idiot responsible for these cases is removed from the company, I suspect that other prospective airlines will steer well clear. It is bad enough investing money in new routes to find that they don't work (despite everyone's best efforts) but it is beyond the pale to find your supposed partner airport then suing you when things don't work out. The reputation which Peel is developing in the industry is more than enough to put operators off. Fix that problem and you might be at the start of a long road to fixing the problems which DTV - and to a lesser extent DSA and LPL - have.
