Ah well I suppose I better keep the day job.
Not so sure if it would mean less services - i would probably say better centralised services with , which i think is very important, increased frequency. So rather than say KLM as an example offering what 4 flights a day between EDI and AMS and 4 a day between GLA-AMS they could offer say 6 a day at the new airport utilising larger or sam size equipment? Business men therefore benefit from increased frequency, the airlines can use perhaps better equipment between cities. London - Scotland would also be another example.
Cost of tickets etc I would suggest would be similar to now - simply driven by market forces - and at any new airport I am sure that EZY,RYR and others would want a slice of the action.
As for 14 Air Canada DC8's at PIK in one day???? Must have been exceptional reason or the rum was good that day. Most I could ever recall seeing were 3.
