Its a fair comment Phileas, I stand by it being a plausible route but yeah whether it would last is another matter.
To be fair to the original poster, the suggestion of a few weekly EI Regionals, an off-peak LCY and a route to MAN are hardly excessive compared to some of the garbage you see in other regional airport threads though I can't see EZY at NQY myself. At least NQY has inbound tourism potential, something the likes of Teeside do not.
