2013 could be a tougher one than the last couple of years for the airport.
Indeed I agree and SNN doesn't come into the situation either.
1 - EDI canceled until 31 March compared to mid Feb last year.
2 - MAN reduced from 7 to 4 weekly for summer.
3 - LBA canceled shows no signs of returning and with MAN reduced I think it sort of confirms it.
4 - GRO back but reduced.
5 - Notice that on the home page of NOC website they show all destinations for 2013 but HHN and BVA are not there. Now they could be added but if not thats 6 weekly flights lost.
6 - BHX reduced for early 2013 but had B737 last year.
7 - LGW changes from A320 to A319
However new weekly AGP and PMI and FAO/ALC/TFS resume mid March a little earlier than 2012.
And thats before SNN comes into the situation as most people think thats all that will cause NOC problems when in fact it the current routes/airlines.
