..on paper all these proposed direct services make perfect sense but sadly in the real world the reality is different ! It is nonsense to keep hubbing thru LHR and then answering pandering to demands for more runway capacity but sadly that is what we are facing !


You cannot blame BA, a single hub is much more cost effective.....

For a long time we also suffered from a semi compliant public in the North Of England "happy with their lot" and subservient enough to do what the airlines and BA offered them ......it reinforced the notion that the only way out of the country was via the South East !

......the success of EK, etc means that the travelling public are at long last a bit more discerning in their choice !

I would like to share Vuelo's optimism but the pax are STILL heading in one direction on many sectors.......
