Reality check
Not been on for long to talk about CVT which I hold dear to my heart:
FACT - regional airport businesses in crisis.
FACT - it's only bucket & spade and non-EU flying that makes any money and neither will happen at CVT.
FACT - the proximity of BHX always was and will always be the main factor.
TOM at CVT was a flook and no airline will ever try a launch of that magnitude again from a marginal airfield just cos it's cheaper.
Holiday passengers fly from the major airports - if you are a competitor in the market you have to be there.
