Flightrider, paarmo: come on guys, it's nothing to do with ineffective marketing or ill-advised legal campaigns, it's quite simply that the airlines persuaded the government years ago that air transport could go on growing indefinitely and the government and investors bought the argument, but now we're seeing that those predictions were wrong - at least temporarily and almost certainly in the longer term too. Take a look at Humberside, Doncaster, Southend, Manston, Lydd and many others - all with grandiose plans, all struggling to get any additional traffic (or any traffic at all). It's not a DTV problem it's a national (if not global) problem.
