^^ Lappeenranta pays already. In 2011 the sum was 800 000 EUR, most of this went to Ryanair. FR wanted more, but requiring this it's losing its momentum, obviously. Indeed, how much the population of 70.000 people can afford to pay for people coming from/to the neighbouring country?
But the ability to properly assess the situation is lost not only in our small country. Look at Estonia. This (much shorter) route will be terminated as well:
Mon 10 Sep 12

Mon 17 Sep 12
Flight FR9375

Not profitable either?
