Flightrider, I cant see much in the way of developments for any airlines in UK domestic routes ex London, what with recession, improved road and rail etc, and given that bmi have closed GLA and Ryanair axing PIK STN well looks like the yield is not there.
Add to that a double dosage of APD and new routes over land at least are a virtual non-starter. PLH closing too, LCY-LPL & MAN gone, LBA-LHR then LGW gone, MME-LHR gone & not replaced - to name a few!
